Pain on the left side of your chest, left arm and back, as well as leg pain likely has multiple causes that could be related to underlying medical problems. A thorough physical evaluation by a physician is necessary to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. The first step should be to discuss the history and current symptoms with a doctor who can order additional tests if needed. It is important to share all details with your doctor, such as any medications you are taking or have taken in the past, any recent falls or accidents you have experienced, etc.

After collecting detailed information from you about your medical history and current health status (including both previously mentioned angiographies), they may proceed with further tests depending on their findings/suspicions - these could include various imaging studies like X-Ray or CT Scan; laboratory work ups of serum electrolytes; lab analyses for anemia and kidney function panels; more blood works for hormones like thyroid stimulating hormone; further cardiovascular assessments via Echocardiography or Cardiac MRI scans if complications exist thereat - also other specific examinations based on suspected conditions/diseases arising from all collected information/evidence found in physical exam & diagnostic tests results gathered throughout assessment process up until then.

With regard to treatment options currently available for pain management, this too depends upon exactly what is causing it - but some common options include: anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium (or topical versions thereof); antidepressants [for certain types of chronic musculoskeletal pains]; corticosteroid injections at affected sites; nerve blocks utilizing anesthetic medications around nerve pathways near painful areas so that these nerves become deadened thus not transmitting 'pain signals'; Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) using electrodes applied at related skin locations so that electrical pulses disrupt nerve transmissions which create painful sensations elsewhere in body's regions; musculoskeletal manipulation techniques involving chiropractic adjustments & massage therapy sessions administered by trained personnel so more flexibility returns due loosening tight soft tissues & muscles particularly around joints involved herewith...etc...

In addition, alternative approaches such as acupuncture might be employed along with dietary supplements having proteins & vitamins which help maintain healthy bones & joints specifically impacting those parts having greatest issues currently identified from above noted data associated therewith..so do ask respective practitioner(s) before taking them now moving forward ahead!

Dealing with excessive dandruff leading to hair loss can be frustrating, but there are effective ways to address this issue. Here's what you can do:

1. Switch to a Gentle Shampoo: Opt for shampoos specifically designed for dandruff, containing ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, coal tar, or selenium sulfide. Use these shampoos regularly to reduce dandruff buildup.

2. Scalp Massage: Gently massage your scalp while shampooing to help remove flakes and improve blood circulation, which can promote healthier hair growth.

3. Avoid Hot Water: Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water can dry out your scalp and worsen dandruff.

4. Balanced Diet: Ensure you're eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for healthy hair and scalp, such as omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and B vitamins.

5. Manage Stress: Stress can exacerbate dandruff problems. Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation, yoga, or regular exercise to help manage stress levels.

6. Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse: Consider using diluted apple cider vinegar as a rinse after shampooing. It can help restore the scalp's pH balance and reduce dandruff.

7. Consult a Dermatologist: If the issue persists despite trying home remedies or over-the-counter solutions, seek advice from a dermatologist. They can provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific scalp condition.

Remember, consistency is key when dealing with dandruff. Give these remedies some time to work, as immediate results might not always occur. It's essential to find what works best for your scalp, so don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate improvements.

Taking care of your scalp health not only addresses dandruff but also aids in reducing hair loss associated with this issue. Feel free to incorporate these tips into your routine and observe how your scalp responds. If the problem persists or worsens, seeking professional guidance is always recommended.
