I've been having these chest pains that come and gosometimes they're just a few seconds, other times they last for a few hours. It's mostly around the left side of my chest, but I don't have any trouble breathing, even after running, and there's no pain spreading to my neck or shoulder. I've been trying Pantoprazole for a while, but it hasn't really helped. What could be going on? Any advice would be appreciated.

"Chest pain on the left side that lasts for a few seconds to a few hours and no breathing issues after running could be due to musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, or even heart-related issues. Since Pantoprazole has not been effective, I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 5mg to 10mg three times a day. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management."

I've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?

u have to continue bp medications , u cannot stop the bp medications .Salt restricted diet is advised .

I've just got the COVAXIN and I'm a 21-year-old male at 80kg and 165cm. Since getting the shot, I've been feeling some discomfort in my chest area. I've been checking my heart rate, and it's averaging around 100 bpm, but I've also seen it spike to 110, 120, and even 130. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what this means. What should I do?

I was wondering if an ECG could show signs of WPW syndrome. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes speeds up, and I'm currently on Dilzem. Could you provide some guidance on this?

Yes, an ECG can show signs of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Since your heart rate increases at times, Dilzem (Diltiazem) is a calcium channel blocker that can help manage this condition. The usual dosage for Dilzem in WPW syndrome is 120-360mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the correct dosage and frequency.
