I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?
The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been taking 1.25mg of Concor Cor since January 25, 2022, but I want to stop. It's only for panic attacks, not for any heart issues. I've got other meds for panic attacks now. How can I safely quit the Concor Cor?
continue medicine
