View allI've recently had an angioplasty to clear a blockage in my main valve. It's been three days now, and I've started feeling some pain in my left shoulder after sitting for a few hours. I haven't been lifting any heavy objects or anything like that. Is this something related to my heart? Should I be worried? Please let me know what's going on.
Just with a complaint of shoulder pain we cant rule out heart related issues visit your physician for evaluation

Which blood pressure medication is best for my high BP and angina pain? I'm kind of stuck because one doctor recommended Metoprolol and another suggested Amlodipine. I really want something that works well but doesn't have a lot of side effects. Can you help me figure out which one might be better?
For high blood pressure and angina pain, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare providers. Both Metoprolol and Amlodipine are commonly used medications for these conditions. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels. For proper relief and minimal side effects, a combination of both medications may be beneficial. You can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) along with Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc). The typical dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, and for Amlodipine, it is 5-10 mg once daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I've been having this mild chest pain on my left side and sometimes feel pain in my hand too, along with back pain. It's been going on for a while and I've already done two ECGs in the past couple of months; both came back normal. My family doctor thinks it might be because I sit for long hours as an IT professional, but the pain hasn't really gone away. Sometimes my chest still hurts a bit on the left side. What should I do about this?
Based on your symptoms and normal ECG reports, it is possible that your chest pain, left hand pain, and back pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues due to prolonged sitting in front of a laptop. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try the following: 1. Take breaks and stretch regularly while working on your laptop. 2. Maintain a good posture while sitting. 3. Use ergonomic equipment such as a supportive chair and keyboard. 4. Consider physical therapy or exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. 5. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help with mild pain. 6. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, focus on improving your posture and taking regular breaks to prevent strain on your muscles and joints.
