My wife has been dealing with some pain on the left side of her chest, and we're getting a bit worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what kind of treatment she should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain on the left side can be caused by various reasons such as heart problems, muscle strain, or even digestive issues. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions related to the heart. I recommend taking your wife to a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can give her Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. But please consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment."

View allI'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?
Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.

I'm feeling alright, haven't noticed any issues but just out of curiosity, I wanted to check my heart rate with an oximeter. It's consistently showing between 110 and 115. Is this something to be concerned about? What's causing my heart rate to be like this?
Regarding your heart rate, a resting heart rate of 110-115 beats per minute is considered higher than normal, as typical resting heart rates usually fall between 60-100 beats per minute. There are many non-serious reasons for an elevated heart rate, including recent physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine consumption, dehydration, or certain medications. However, since this seems to be a persistent reading and you're concerned enough to ask about it, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. They can perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and determine if any underlying conditions need to be addressed. While using an oximeter at home can be helpful, it's best to have a medical professional interpret these readings in the context of your overall health.

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?
That could be due to side effect of one of the medicines that your using visit your doctor for switch of the medicine and maintain healthy lifestyle
