I've been having some breathing issues for a year now, but in the last two weeks, I've started experiencing chest pain alongside it. I'm also feeling dizzy, and I've got pain in my left arm, muscles, and neck. What's going on here? Should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for chest pain (if not allergic) and Nitroglycerin 0.4mg sublingual for chest pain relief. These medications can help manage your symptoms before you see a doctor.

View allI've had mild chest pain for years and my doctor recommended an angiography which showed blockages in my arteries. The report says there's a 40-50% mid-segment stenosis in the LM artery, 90% stenosis in the LAD at S1 D1 level with diffuse distal disease, and severe blockages in LCx (70-80% ostial), OM1 (80% ostial), OM2 (90% diffuse). RCA also has 90% stenosis in ostial PDA and PLV. Given these findings, is bypass surgery the best option for me or are there other treatments I should consider?
cardiologist opinion is advised.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and I'm a bit worried. I've had pain on my left chest and left hand for about a week now. I went for a check-up, did an ECG and cholesterol test, but nothing was found. The doctor mentioned it might be a muscle problem and gave me some medicine. However, I still feel this glittering sensation on my left chest and arm. And when I go to the bathroom, it takes a lot of effort and makes me uncomfortable. There's also some swelling around my left chest and near my left hand. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain and possibly some inflammation in the chest and left hand. The glittering sensation could be due to nerve irritation. The difficulty in passing stool may be related to muscle strain or weakness. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg twice daily for muscle pain. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for the inflammation. For the swelling, you can try applying a cold compress and elevating the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Hey, I've noticed that I can easily find my pulse in my neck on both sides, but when I slide my fingers up a bit, the right side feels like there's a larger tube compared to the left. I'm wondering if this is just my carotid artery and if it's normal for one side to be a bit bigger. Could it be something else like a swollen lymph node or a tumor? I haven't had any symptoms and feel generally healthy otherwise, just curious about this difference.
Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate the lump and pains. Given the lump's long-standing presence and recent pain, it's essential to rule out potential issues. Possible causes include: Epididymal cyst Spermatocele Varicocele Testicular torsion (unlikely, given the lump's long history) Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and peace of mind.
