I had chest pain on both sides for almost 4-5 months and it would last solely 5-10 seconds. When I pressed on that area, I could feel tenderness. Once I felt an electric shock pain in my left chest and it relieved immediately after taking flexon. Whenever I take a flexon, the pain subsides immediately. Sometimes pain in under one under arm, sometimes on another. Since last 10-12 days I have no pain in chest but mild pain in both arms and upper back. What is the reason? I got my Chest X ray,Echocardiography and ECG done and all are Normal. Even my lipid profile and CBC is normal. I am frustrated and losing my sleep over it. What should I do ?

Hi, My father was diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy 5 years back and his EF was 42 percent. Of late, when the Echo was done may be it's 40 percent. He had some symptoms earlier coughing, fatigue but now now.. Just sometimes while sleeping he gets shortness of breath .. I know this is a common symptom .. My question is.. Can we change from Carvedilol to Bisoprolol . Can we see some improvement ? Also, changing from repace 50mg twice a day to valsartan would help in any way ? Is there a lot of side effects in taking Valsartan ?
