I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

View allI'm really concerned about my pulse rate which is constantly between 120 to 130, and it sometimes shoots up to 150 or 170 when I'm feeling anxious. Lately, I've been feeling pretty worn out, and since I had a bad fever last month, it just seems like my pulse is higher than ever. It almost feels like I can hear it all the time, like listening through a stethoscope. Do you have any tips to help me bring down my pulse rate naturally, without having to go through treatments, scans, or using medication?

I'm taking Concor 2.5mg because my heart rate was pretty high, like around 100. After starting it yesterday, my heart rate has dropped into the 60s and 70s. I've been told to take this tablet every day for a month, but I'm concerned if my heart rate could get too low if I keep using it. What do you think? Should I continue taking it daily, or could it cause issues?
