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?

I'm really worried about my heart rate. I was prescribed Propranolol 20 MG for anxiety and palpitations by my cardiologist, but when I started feeling uncomfortable with light chest pain, I went to another cardiologist who told me to stop taking it. So I did, and I felt normal for a day, but then my heart rate jumped from 85 sitting to 145 standing the next day. I'm scared to go to the hospital because my heart rate might increase even more. If it's already at 140 just standing, I can't imagine how high it would go while working. Is this something very serious? Also, my blood pressure at night was 130 after eating and 127 before eating while I was on the medication, but it hardly ever went over 120 before all this. If just two days of using Propranolol caused these withdrawal effects, how am I supposed to handle this medication for the long term? I'm living in constant fear of dying. Can you help?
It sounds like you are experiencing significant anxiety and palpitations along with withdrawal effects from Propranolol. The sudden increase in heart rate upon standing is concerning and may indicate a condition called orthostatic intolerance. This needs to be evaluated further by a healthcare professional. To address your symptoms, you can try the following: - Discontinue Propranolol under medical supervision to avoid withdrawal effects - Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to help with anxiety - Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet - Avoid sudden changes in posture to prevent orthostatic intolerance In the meantime, it is important to consult with a cardiologist or a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan. They may consider alternative medications or therapies to help with your symptoms. Remember, sudden changes in heart rate and chest discomfort should not be ignored. Take care.
