Question

I'm really anxious about my ECG report. It mentioned a possible lateral infarct with age undetermined. What exactly does that mean? Could it indicate I had a heart attack at some point? I'm confused because my cardiologist said the ECG was normal. Can you help clarify this for me?

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing some chest pain, tightness, a burning sensation, and even pain in my shoulder blade and hands. I've consulted two different doctors about this. The first doctor advised me to take Ab Flo capsules, but the second doctor was more cautious and said I should only take it if I have asthma. So the second doctor gave me Pantocid 40mg, but even after taking it for the past two days, I'm still not feeling any relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next?

Question

I've been having some concerns after getting the Covishield vaccine a few days ago. I've been experiencing chest pain and a feeling of tightness, along with mild difficulty breathing when I'm lying down. There's also a lot of mucus coming from my mouth. It feels like I might have a cold, considering I've had COVID before. Should I be worried about possible chest congestion or could it be something else?
