Which tests should I do for chest pain and shortness of breath? Is a blood test required? Is a chest X ray required? Please suggest.

Start with ECG, chest X ray, and CBC. Depending on findings, your doctor may suggest cardiac enzymes or an ECHO. If breathless, a chest CT may help.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I am 34 weeks pregnant. I have attached my USG report. Could you please help me understand the report. I noticed that the FL (femur length) measurement is lower compared to other parameters, and I am not sure what that means. Is my baby okay?

One year ago, my tuberculosis (TB) report was positive, and I also had problems with my periods. I continued Ayurvedic treatment, and my report later became negative. But now, my report is positive again, and my ultrasound shows Kochs abdomen. My periods have not improved, and I have pain on my left side along with a lymph node in my armpit. Please advise.

Four days ago, suddenly at midnight, I developed full body red rashes and itching. I consulted a doctor, and they said it was due to a food allergy. I had no fever, headache, or joint pain that day. My CBC blood report was normal, but my fingers and palms were slightly swollen. I have been continuing the prescribed medicines for the last four days. It is improving day by day compared to previous days. Today is the fifth day. After taking medicine, the itching and rashes go away for the full day, but every evening, I get very mild rashes and itching. Is this okay for now? Will it take time to cure? How many more days should I continue the medicine? Now I feel some pain in two or three fingers on my hand. Is this joint pain? I am scared about dengue or chikungunya. Is there anything to worry about? Please advise.
