I've been having this nagging pain in my left arm for the past two nights, and it went away for a day but then came back. Now it's in my upper shoulder and arm area. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Left arm pain that started at night and now is also present in the upper shoulder and arm area could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, nerve compression, or even cardiac issues. It is important to monitor the pain and seek medical attention if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain continues, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allHey, I've got my mom's ECG report here and I'm a bit worried. She's 55 and was dealing with some pretty high blood pressure at 200100. She's been taking Tritelsar 80 as prescribed, and her blood pressure's come down to 13090, which is great. But, I'm still concerned about whether this is something serious or life-threatening? She's also been working really hard on getting healthier over the past year by doing brisk walking, yoga, basic workouts, and she's cut back on salt in her diet too. Could you help me understand the ECG report a bit?
The ECG report shows sinus rhythm with no significant abnormalities. Given your mother's history of hypertension, it is important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly. Tritelsar 80 hs is a good choice to help control her blood pressure. It is important for her to continue with her current lifestyle modifications such as exercise, yoga, and a low-salt diet. There is no indication of a worrisome or life-threatening disease based on the ECG report. However, it is essential to follow up with her doctor regularly to ensure her blood pressure remains controlled and to address any concerns. In summary, continue with Tritelsar 80 hs as prescribed by the doctor, monitor blood pressure regularly, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a low-salt diet.

I've just had an ECG, and the doctor mentioned there were some issues. They suggested I get an ECHO, which thankfully turned out to be normal. Now they've advised me to go for an angiography. I'm a bit uncertain about going for another test. Could you help me understand why it might be necessary? Also, they've prescribed me Clopidogrel IP 75 mg and Atorvastatin. Could you explain what these medications are for and if there are any side effects I should be aware of? I'm feeling a little lost here and would appreciate some guidance.
yes to continue all the medications as advised ,, angiography as a prognosis is advised..
