Health Q&A
Lower chest discomfort
Dear Doctor, I would like to seek your advice regarding my 80-year-old father. In 2025, he was admitted to the same hospital with heavy breathing and discomfort in his lower chest and upper abdomen. He was diagnosed with acute gastritis, and we were told that his breathing difficulty could be related to the gastric problem. In 2026, he was admitted again with almost identical symptoms, including heavy breathing and chest discomfort, but without pain or cramps in his chest, jaw or arm. This time, he was diagnosed with acute left ventricular failure (LVF). We are confused as to why similar symptoms led to different diagnoses on these two occasions. He continues to experience these episodes, particularly after lunch and his afternoon sleep. Could you please advise whether these recurring symptoms could be related to gastritis or acid reflux, or a cardiac condition ?
Numbness/3Days/Weird Feel/Left Arm & Leg
I'm Experiencing Severe Weird Sensations or Numbness Maybe in Left Leg and Left Arm since last 3 Days started around Evening while getting Ready for Workplace. Thought would Vanish on its Own, still Struggling with this. Im Severe Hypertension Patient with last BP Reading 214/125 at Doc's Hospital who suggested to start Amlip 5 Once Daily and Mecofol Once a Day for both Numbness and Weird Sensations in Left Leg and Left Arm and for Severely High BP. I have No Other Issues apart from maybe Mild Chest Discomfort usually happening after I take a Meal or when I feel Stressed about this Numbness or after taking Amlip 5 due to its known side effects. My Leg and Arm both have Sensations as in I can feel Everything its not totally Gone. I can feel Mosquito Bite, or if I Pinch or Slap, I do feel the Pain or Sensation but its not the Usual Sensation as on My Right Side which is absolutely fine. Also, Sensations are most common whenever I Move, Walk, or Touch something. What should I Do?
