I've had this stabbing pain right in the middle of my chest that I've been dealing with since I woke up one morning. It feels sharp, especially when I inhale deeply, sneeze, or put any pressure on my chest. I tried taking pain relievers and some NSAIDs, and after about a week, the pain mostly went away, but I still feel it when I move or squeeze my chest too much. It's been 3 months since then, and the day after this pain started, I caught influenza. I did visit a general doctor, but they said it might be from the flu or just because I slept wrong and put too much pressure on my chest. I'm really worried about what this could be. Could it actually be something more serious?

View allI'm 21 and I've been on Concor Cor 2.5mg since May 2018. I'm wondering if there's a way to stop taking it for good. I've attached my 2D echo results. Can you tell me if it's possible to withdraw from this medication permanently?
yes

I'm a bit worried about my 65-year-old relative who recently had an angiography, and it showed they have about three blockages in the 70-80% range. We're not totally sure about the accuracy of the angiography report we got, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have another angiography done. If so, how long should we wait between the two procedures? Also, could doing a repeat angiography pose any risks or problems for them?
Repeat angiography can be done if there are doubts about the initial report. The interval between two angiographies is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of the treating physician. Repeating angiography may pose some risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy or allergic reactions, but these risks are generally low and can be managed by the medical team.

How does diabetes increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke?
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease/ stroke such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
