I've been experiencing twitching on the left side of my chest at different times today. It's been happening since this morning, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any idea why this might be happening?

I'm a bit concerned about a recent cardiologist appointment where I was suspected of having an ASD. I'm already taking some home remedies like apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. I've heard about another Ayurvedic medicine called Terminalia Arjuna that's quite common in the market. I'm curious if it's safe to take that while I'm still consulting with an allopathic cardiologist. Would it be okay to try?

Terminalia Arjuna is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used for heart health. While it may have some benefits, it is important to consult with your cardialogist before adding any new medication to your regimen. They will be able to advise you on the safety and potential interactions of Terminalia Arjuna with your current allopathic treatment.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having chest pain and the doctor recommended an ultrasound and an ECG. The ultrasound turned out normal, but the ECG showed something concerning. It mentioned "old high lateral MI." What does this mean, and what should we do next?

Your wife seems to have an old high lateral myocardial infarction based on the ECG findings. To manage her chest pain and heart condition, she can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, she can take Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots. It is important for her to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
