I've had a 2D echo and an ECG, and both came back normal, and my TMT was negative too. But sometimes I get this pinching pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for about 9-10 seconds. It really freaks me out and makes me anxious, thinking there might be something wrong with my heart. What could this be and what should I do about it?

It's good that your 2D echo, ECG, and TMT results were normal. The pain you are experiencing could be due to anxiety or muscle strain. To alleviate the pain and anxiety, you can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can help reduce anxiety. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

A colour doppler flow venous test is advised to the patient and cardiac opinion ..

I'm concerned about my mother-in-law's medication. The doctor prescribed her Rosuvastatin 20mg, but we only have 10mg tablets at home. Can she take two 10mg tablets instead to make up the dose?

To achieve the prescribed dosage of Rosuvastatin 20mg for your mother-in-law, you can take two tablets of Rosuvastatin 10mg at the same time. This will provide the intended dosage as recommended by the doctor.
