I'm really worried about my vitamin D3 and B12 levels, which are 12 and 160, and I've been experiencing chest pain. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My doctor suggested taking Neurobion Forte, but since I started it, my chest pain seems to be getting worse. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried about a reaction to the medication, or could there be another issue that wasn't detected?

After taking tab Neurobion Forte, if your chest pain has increased, it may be due to a reaction to the medication. Neurobion Forte contains a combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Since you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to stop taking Neurobion Forte and consult your doctor for an alternative medication. In the meantime, you can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen for relief from chest pain.

I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been having this mild chest pain on the left side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but happens occasionally, and it feels like my chest is getting a bit heavier. I notice my heartbeat sometimes during these episodes, and there's this weird sensation like something's there in my chest. The pain usually spreads to my left hand and shoulder, and my hand feels kind of numb for about 20 seconds before it all goes away. I went through an ECG, which showed an abnormal heartbeat, but the 2D Echo came out normal. I had COVID-19 around 56 months ago and took the prescribed medication. This chest pain started only after I recovered. Could it be related to my past COVID infection, or is there something else going on?
