My dad got his first Covaxin dose today and he stopped taking Ecosprin AV 75 two days ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for him to start taking it again now or if he should wait a couple more days.

"Dear SirMam, your father can continue taking Ecosprin AV 75 along with Covaxin. There is no need to stop it for 2-3 more days. The combination is safe and can be continued as prescribed. The usual dosage for Ecosprin AV 75 is one tablet once daily."

I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest whenever I do surya namaskaram and, for the past two days, I've been having frequent burping and indigestion. Sometimes when I breathe, there's this pain on the left side of my chest. A few months back, I had an ECG done, and the doctor said it was normal. I've been doing yoga for a month now, and I'm just wondering if this is something serious? How do you think it can be treated?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause chest tightness, frequent burping, indigestion, and chest pain. It is good that your ECG was normal, but it is still important to address your symptoms. You can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the indigestion and chest pain. Additionally, you can take medications like omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. It is also helpful to avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
