Health

Hi Dr. I have very slight pain on my left of chest, near to heart. This remains cont. Same intensity of pain even on brisk walking. I got myself examined for echo, ECG and triptenine blood test also. All was normal. Triglyceride is normally at 240. I am now taking Aspirin 75 and cholesterol medicine 10mg. Is it really a pain related to heart? Should I go for CT angiography?

Ans: you are suffering from atypical chest pain. CT Coronary angiography would help rule out any coronary artery stenosis and may be done

Health

Hi Dr Ashit, Whenever i have physcial exertion (even walking for 30 mins, or light activity), i develop chest pain on left side; been to ER and done all possible tests like ECG, Echo, TMT and even CT Angiography, but no issues found. This has been happening for last 10 years and visited hospitals many times for this. Speaking on phone while walking also induces chest pain, which goes away after 12-24 hours. What should i do to diagnose and fix this problem? Grateful if you can help

Ans: Do you have any pain in the neck. What kind of pain do you have ? Is it a shooting pain, a burning pain or just heaviness? Do you have any symptoms of " acidity". I think you need to give a detailed history

Question by Jayakiran - Sep 02, 2026

Relationship

Hello Anu, Me and my wife are hardly having sex and being felt intimated from past 7 months. We have no intimacy connection now, we are just with each other with zero sex with marriage of 15 years long. Don't know what to do with it. We don't even talk of why we have so low sex drive. What can be done?

Ans: Dear Jayakiran,
If you don't or hesitate to talk about an issue that is bothering you both, then don't you think that it's time for someone neutral to help you break the ice on it? Obviously the best is when the couple a good channel of communication and discuss anything and everything, but if there's a lot of hesitation, kindly seek the help of a professional to help you both on this...
There are phases in life where intimacy dips like: after the birth of a child, loss of any kind like a job or a near and dear, financial instability...all these can bring a time when intimacy will be the last thing on your minds as you have other emotional situations to face and be in...be patient, try and sit down to talk about these...to start a conversation, start spending a lot of time together to bring back the love that is hiding somewhere and then these kind of chats become easier...if you are still struggling, do seek professional help!

All the best!
