I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?

View allI'm really struggling and could use some advice. Ive been feeling exhausted for the past three years and I'm dealing with severe shortness of breath. My mornings start with a really bad headache, and my resting heart rate is consistently high, hovering around 100 to 110, and it shoots up to 180 to 200 just by climbing a single flight of stairs. My weight is normal, so Im confused about what might be causing this. I used to be pre-hypertensive with a blood pressure of 137 over 91, and then I was on Inderal la 20 in July and August of last year. Now, my BP usually sits in the 95 over 83 or 100 over 85 range when I'm resting, which makes me wonder why my pulse pressure is so low. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis in January, and Ive been taking mondeslor for the past two months, but Im not seeing any improvement. Ive done a pulmonary function test, ECG, and echo, and they all came back normal. I don't have anxiety issues and generally, I'm a calm person. It's all pretty frustrating, and its impacting my everyday life. What could be going on?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, headaches, and low pulse pressure despite being on Inderal LA 20 for hypertension. Since your PFT, ECG, and echo results are normal, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. Given your history of allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to an underlying respiratory issue. Considering your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of trying a different medication for your allergic conditions. You may benefit from a nasal corticosteroid spray such as Flonase (fluticasone) for allergic rhinitis and an inhaled corticosteroid like Qvar (beclomethasone) for allergic bronchitis. These medications can help reduce inflammation in your airways and improve your breathing. In addition, since you are experiencing persistent headaches, your doctor may consider prescribing a medication like Propranolol (Inderal) at a higher dose to help with both your headaches and high heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Overall, it is important to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and find an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm a bit worried about my health and would appreciate some advice. Recently, I've managed to reduce my high blood pressure in just 12 days, which is great, but now I'm experiencing some weird symptoms. Occasionally, I have this sharp chest pain on the left side that feels like I'm being poked with a needle. Sometimes it switches to the right side, and drinking water seems to trigger a bit of pain too. It feels like something's touching my chest inside. My shoulder also feels uncomfortable at times. I've also been passing a lot of gas and sometimes my throat feels really full. These symptoms are similar to what I experienced about two months ago. Does this sound like something serious?
The symptoms you describe, including high blood pressure, chest pain, shoulder discomfort, excessive gas, and a sensation of fullness in the throat, could be due to a combination of gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal factors, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain and discomfort, while musculoskeletal issues could explain the needle-like pain and shoulder discomfort. To manage these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions and confirm a diagnosis. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, stress reduction, and avoiding large or spicy meals, as well as medication like antacids for GERD and pain relievers for musculoskeletal pain. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and following your doctor's advice on managing it is also important.
