Heart Problems & Remedies
Coq10 suppliment
Dear Doctors,
We are writing to request clinical clearance regarding a supplement for 60 year old diabetic patien. She is currently being treated for Triple Vessel Disease (TVD) and Congestive Heart Failure with a 42% Ejection Fraction (EF).
Lately, she has been experiencing persistent muscle pain, weakness, and generalized fatigue.
Since her regimen includes Ecosprin AV 75/40 (which contains Atorvastatin), we are wondering if these muscle aches might be statin-induced myalgia due to a secondary CoQ10 depletion. Furthermore, we understand that CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production in a weakened heart muscle, which might help address her fatigue.
Her current full prescription is:
- Prolomet-XL 25 (1/2 tablet)
- Dytor Plus 5 (1/2 tablet)
- Axcer 90
- Ecosprin AV 75/40
- Insulin (NovaRapid and Lantus)
Given her exact medication profile especially the concurrent use of dual antiplatelets (Axcer and Ecosprin) is it safe to introduce an over-the-counter CoQ10 supplement ?

Please advice me what can I do
My mother underwent surgery for an ovarian cyst and hysterectomy 9 days ago. Since the surgery, she has developed severe chest pain, mainly on the left side of the chest, along with pain extending toward the back.
We consulted a doctor, who told us that the symptoms are suggestive of a heart attack. However, the doctor also said that because she recently underwent surgery, he cannot perform angiography or angioplasty at this time and advised us to take her home, give her rest, and continue Ecosprin 20/75.
She has been taking the prescribed Ecosprin 20/75, but it has not provided any relief from the chest pain.
We are very concerned because the chest pain is severe and persistent, and we want to know what should be done next. Is there any safe and appropriate treatment or investigation that can be performed at this stage, considering that she had major surgery only 9 days ago?

Idk what is this
So, I went to a doctor and he told me that it is gastritis, which is some due to eating too much spices. And I agree with that. But I still have two questions : If it is due to spicy still there is a moment when I felt like heaviness in my cheat, unable to breathe, feeling smthn and getting nervous and thinking what it is even when i didn't eat anything spicy. Second it even happend when I was watchin a show and some scene made me nervous and I started feeling it again, but I wanna ask, since I study in a college where I don't need to go regularly, so I sleep around 6 am in the morning and wake up around 4 pm (also coz I have been depressed 2 years ago), and then when I wake up I have my lunch and have dinner around 12 am or smthn. I just wanna know since my family hates this schedule of mine, but I am like this only and I feel comfortable too (GEN Z LIFESTYLE yk) do you think this schedule is not okay? and it could be a reason of what I feel? or what.

Angina?? Neck n jaw burn
Since the past two days have been having some weird pressure and deep burning ache in my neck and jaw- I was also having occasional chest pressure, but I knew it was due to GERD but this neck n jaw issue is new
I consulted my regular cardiologist, who did ECG, echo and some blood test, which were completely normal - I also have a history of a normal invasivea angiogram done a year ago
He gave me medicines for GRD and dysphasia mentioning that GERD issues can present in several atypical ways
But my mind remains fixed on cardiac side - since all the investigations have been done, I don't know if I should go for any other test

Low bp and digestive issue
As soon as I drink water or eat something I'm getting burps immediately, getting stools daily but feels like incomplete evacuation and since 2-3 days my bp is around 95/65.
My b12 is 155
Iron is 43
Hb is 11.5
Rbc 3.69
Calcium 7.81
ESR 26
Rest cbc, lft, kft, thyroid profile, lipid profile were fine.
I took iron and b12 tablets for 20-25 days but there is no increment.
I tested for celiac disease too but it's negative. What's causing this burp and low bp? Is it the gut issues or heart issue?
