If you have light pricking pain on the left chest caused by gas, opt for positional changes and slight motion along with over-the-counter antacids. Also, adjust your diet to lower foods that produce gas. If the symptoms continue and you are worried, see your doctor so that they can thoroughly assess them. If the pain is high or accompanied by worrying symptoms, seek medical care immediately. Always follow your Doctor’s advice as each case is different.

Hello.. Iam 65. It's been a week I had my mitral valve replacement. Doctors replaced my mitral valve with mechanical valve.Is mechanical valve safe for me? As my age is 65..? Please reply me..

Female | 65

Mechanical valves are safe for most patients, even for those who are 65 years old but there are some risks. Patients with mechanical valves need to take blood thinning medication for the rest of their lives to prevent blood clots from forming on the valve, which can be a serious complication.

My daughter 26 years old normally has pulse rate above 100. Her health is otherwise normal. What should I do?

Female | 26

It is important to consult with a physician in order to determine the cause of your daughter's high pulse rate. It could be due to an underlying medical condition, such as an overactive thyroid, or it could be due to lifestyle factors, such as stress or dehydration. The doctor can evaluate her and recommend any necessary treatment. In the meantime, it is important to make sure she is engaging in regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough rest.
