I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?

The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've done a bunch of tests like the 2D echo, ECG, and TMT stress test, and everything came back normal. My cholesterol is at 158, BP is 12080, and both calcium and alkaline phosphatase are within limits. All the CBC, blood count, sugar, and urine tests went well, and the doctor said nothing's wrong with me. But I still feel chest pain and back pain, right opposite my heart and pain around my ribs. After dinner, I feel pretty uneasy, and my work hours are 5 pm to 3 am. When I try to sleep at night, I end up feeling stressed and uneasy. The 2D echo test showed my heart's compatibility is 64, and blood circulation is normal. I quit smoking about 8 months ago but still have tobacco twice a day, and I'm trying to quit. I'm also getting into exercise regularly. I'm wondering if this is all in my head because a colleague of ours passed away recently. Is there any chance I'm at risk for a heart attack here, and what precautions should I be taking?
-It sounds like your tests have ruled out major heart issues, and the chest and back pain could be related to stress or the tobacco use you're trying to quit. It's great that you're exercising regularlythis can help reduce stress and improve overall he

My dad had mitral valve replacement surgery a while back and now needs a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones. What risks should we be aware of given his heart condition? Also, why might someone like him develop gallstones in the first place? Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?

I've been on storvas 20 for the past couple of months, and I'm wondering if I should keep taking it or not. The reports came back, and I'm really not sure how to interpret them. Could you please help me out with this?
Storvas 20 is a brand name for atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. It is important to continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor, especially if it has been effective in managing your cholesterol levels. However, it is always recommended to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and to review your reports to ensure the medication is still appropriate for you.
