I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm having some slight chest pain and noticed a little change in my ECG readings. Could this be related to the medications I'm taking? I'm currently on Ecosprin, Thinrin, Concor, Coversyl, and Crestor. Should I be worried about this combination of medicines affecting my heart?
The chest pain and ECG variation could be due to underlying cardiovascular issues. The medications you mentioned are commonly used for heart conditions: - ECOSPRIN (Aspirin) is a blood thinner and antiplatelet medication. The usual dosage for heart conditions is 75-325mg per day. - THINRIN (Clopidogrel) is also a blood thinner and antiplatelet medication. The usual dosage is 75mg per day. - CONCOR (Bisoprolol) is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. The usual dosage ranges from 2.5mg to 10mg per day. - COVERSYL (Perindopril) is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. The usual dosage ranges from 2mg to 16mg per day. - CRESTOR (Rosuvastatin) is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels. The usual dosage ranges from 5mg to 40mg per day. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm a bit concerned and confused about my blood pressure readings. I've been using an electronic BP machine at home, and I've noticed that my readings are high when I first measure it while sittingsomething like 135 to 140 over 90 to 95. But after a few minutes, it seems to drop to around 125 to 130 over 85 to 90. Does this mean I might need medication, or is this fluctuation normal?
"Based on your blood pressure readings, it seems like you have elevated blood pressure, especially when initially measured in a sitting position. It is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications to help lower it. If your blood pressure consistently remains high, medication may be necessary. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss possible treatment options. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your blood pressure through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing salt intake, and managing stress."
