I've been having left chest pain for the past two weeks and also feel this pulsating sensation in my stomach. I'm worried because I have high blood pressure too. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 2D echo for my chest pain, but now I'm wondering if I should also get a 2D scan for my abdomen to check on my abdominal aorta. Do you think that's necessary, or should I be considering a CT scan for my stomach instead? Any advice would be really helpful.

A 2D echocardiogram is primarily used to evaluate the heart, so it may not provide detailed information about the pulsating sensation in your stomach. For your stomach symptoms, a CT scan of the abdomen may be more appropriate to assess the abdominal aorta and other structures in the abdomen. Given your history of high blood pressure and chest pain, it is crucial to rule out any potential issues with the abdominal aorta. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action and to discuss the need for further imaging studies such as a CT scan of the abdomen.

View allI'm kind of confused and worried about a few things related to my health and life after my CABG surgery back on December 30, 2013. I've been on tablets like ROSUFIT 10MG and MetXL 12.5 since then and was wondering if it's alright for me to play shuttle every day? Also, I've noticed my desire for intimacy is increasing, but my partner seems a bit drained with it all, which makes me feel pretty low the next morning. Is it safe to be intimate every day? Do you have any advice on how I could make things better with my partner?
1. Can I play shuttle every day after CABG done in 2013 using ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5? Yes, you can play shuttle every day after CABG. Just make sure to follow your doctor's advice and take your medications as prescribed, including ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5. 2. Sex feelings are increasing day by day but my partner is fed up with me, leading to depression the next morning. What should I do? It's important to communicate openly with your partner about your feelings and concerns. Consider seeking couples therapy or counseling to address any issues in your relationship. Additionally, managing stress and practicing self-care can help improve your mental well-being. 3. Is it safe to have sex every day after CABG? What can I do to satisfy my partner? It is generally safe to have sex after CABG, but it's important to listen to your body and not exert yourself excessively. To improve intimacy with your partner, focus on communication, emotional connection, and exploring new ways to express affection and love. If you have concerns about your sexual health, consider consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Ive been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?
Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.
