I've been feeling this burning sensation in my breast, mostly on the left side, and it even goes into my back sometimes. It occasionally spreads down my leg too. Should I be worried about this or is it something common?

View allI'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.

I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?
Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.
