I've been noticing this weird pain in the upper left side of my chest, especially when I yawn. It's not constant, but more annoying in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The intermittent chest pain in your left upper chest, particularly when yawning, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone) or intercostal muscle strain; however, to rule out cardiac or pulmonary causes, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly a chest X-ray or stress test.

View allI'm 29 and just had some tests done, including an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the results came back normal, but there was a note in my ECHO report about "LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2." My cardiologist said it's normal and nothing to worry about, but I'm still a bit concerned. I don't smoke or drink and I'm not overweight. I did some Googling and found different explanations about that note, which is making me a bit anxious. I also didn't sleep well only about 4 hours the night before the tests and wore double masks during them. Could any of that have impacted the results? Just want to make sure there's nothing I should be concerned about.
"Based on your description, it seems like you are concerned about the comment in your ECHO report regarding LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2. Your cardiologist has reassured you that it is normal and nothing to worry about, which is a good sign. LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 indicates some stiffness in the left ventricle of your heart during the relaxation phase, but it is a common finding and may not necessarily indicate any serious issues. Considering your age, lifestyle habits, and the fact that all your other tests (ECG, TMT) are normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Factors such as inadequate sleep and wearing double masks during the tests could have influenced the results slightly. To further support your heart health, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. If you have any specific symptoms or concerns in the future, do not hesitate to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. No specific medication is required for LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 at this stage. Just continue with your healthy habits and follow up with your cardiologist as recommended for routine check-ups."

I've been prescribed Biotor tablet 10 instead of Clavix and Atorlip, and my doctor mentioned it has Ecospirin in it. But when I looked it up online, it seems like it only contains atorvastatin. I'm really confused nowdoes Biotor tablet 10 actually have Ecospirin too?
No it does not contain aspirin.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty 5 days ago and now he's got a fever, like 101F. His face and neck feel warm, but not his arms and legs. Plus, he's got a cough with white phlegm. I've been giving him paracetamol and he's taking lizolid and ceftum twice a day, like the doctor said. Is this something normal after such a procedure, or should I be concerned?
It is not uncommon to have a fever after a surgical procedure like angioplasty, but it is important to monitor it closely. The symptoms of fever and cough with white phlegm could indicate an infection. The medications you have mentioned are appropriate for such symptoms. Continue giving him paracetamol for fever. Additionally, ensure he completes the full course of antibiotics - lizolid and ceftum - as prescribed. Monitor his temperature regularly and if the fever persists or if he develops any new symptoms, please consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
