I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

View allI'm worried about my dad's blood pressure while he's here in the UK with me for another month. He's been taking Zaart for it, but his readings are ranging from 165 to 200. Should he be taking 50mg instead of 25mg?

I'm really worried about this ongoing lightheadedness I've been dealing with for the past 8 months. It's like I'm under the influence of something, almost like alcohol, but I'm not. I've had these scary episodes where my chest hurts and my blood pressure shoots up to 150100. The ER told me it was a panic attack, and it's happened twice now. I've undergone so many testsHolter Monitor, ECG, EKG, chest and heart CT scans, even a brain MRI and countless blood tests. Everything comes back normal, including checks for anemia and thyroid issues. They did find H. Pylori, and I finished a 14-day antibiotic course for that, but otherwise, doctors say I'm fine. Yet, I can't shake these feelings and symptoms. I'm 30, 6 feet tall, and weigh 90 kg, with blood pressure often around 13590. I've even had ECGs during the pain episodes. Can you help me figure out what might be going on here?
It sounds like you have been through a thorough evaluation for your symptoms. Since all your reports have come back normal and your doctors have ruled out various possible causes, including panic attacks, it's important to consider other factors that may be contributing to your lightheadedness and other symptoms. One possible cause could be inner ear problems leading to vertigo-like symptoms. I recommend trying a medication called Meclizine (brand name Antivert) at a dose of 25-100 mg per day to help with your lightheadedness. Additionally, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy to address any inner ear issues. It's also important to stay well-hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and practice stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having these weird palpitations and short jerks in my chest lasting just a couple of seconds, but it's not like they happen at any specific time. It really feels awkward when it happens, almost like my heart stops for a moment. What's strange is that even though I exercise regularly, I don't feel any pain in my chest. I've done ECG, 2D Echo, and Holter tests, and they all came back normal. So, Im really wondering, do you think I might have some sort of cardiac blockage? Are these episodes a sign of something serious like a cardiac arrest in the future? Or if it's not something major with my heart, what else could be causing these jerks and palpitations?
