View allI'm having some pain on the left side of my chest and it's really worrying me. I'm also diabetic and on top of that, I'm supposed to have cervical surgery soon. Could these chest pains be related to my diabetes or maybe the upcoming surgery? I'm kind of anxious about it all and I'm wondering what I should do next.
Sometimes pain in the left side of the chest can be concerning, especially if you have a history of diabetes and are scheduled to undergo cervical surgery. This pain could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even related to your diabetes. It's important to get this evaluated by a healthcare professional. To help with the pain, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

My dad is 66 and has hypertension but stays active with no obvious symptoms. His recent ECG for a cataract surgery checkup showed incomplete RBBB and left axis deviation how serious is this? Should we be worried?
Incomplete RBBB with left axis deviation can be age-related or benign but may need a cardiology consult to rule out underlying heart issues, especially before surgery.

I'm a bit concerned about my BP readings. It was 10866 recently, but before that, it was 9363. Should I be worried about this change, or is it normal? Do you think I need to see a doctor? Please let me know what you think!
-A blood pressure reading of 10866 is considered within the normal range, though it's slightly higher than your previous reading of 9363. It seems like a healthy change, but if you're feeling any symptoms like dizziness or weakness, its worth consult
