I'm dealing with some constant pain in my chest, neck, shoulders, ears, and upper back. I've already had an ECG, ECO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. But the pain is still there and just won't go away. What should I do about it?

View allSo, I just got my Echo report and it says EF is 65 and there's something about Mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this means and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it a serious heart problem?
In that Echo report, an ejection fraction (EF) of 65% indicates normal heart function. Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) means that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are slightly thickened. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. You can take Losartan 50mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and to reduce the workload on the heart. Regular exercise and a low-sodium diet can also be beneficial.

I'm seeing my blood pressure readings at 10766 and 10866is that normal or is it considered low? Do you think I need to do something about it?
Your blood pressure readings of 10766 and 10866 are considered normal, as they fall within the optimal range (less than 12080 mmHg); no immediate action is required, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and regular check-ups with your doctor, will help sustain optimal blood pressure levels.

My body's been acting up ever since I tried using minoxidilI started feeling heart palpitations and headaches, so I had to stop. I got an ECG done, and it showed 99 bpm, which my doctor said is sinus tachycardia. To manage it, I've been taking a beta blocker called Metoprolol, 25 mg split between morning and night for a month. But now I'm dealing with side effects like dehydration, a dry mouth, and feeling nauseous with no appetite. My sleep's all messed up too, waking up at 5:30 am just dying for some water. I stopped the medication on April 2nd, but it seems like the side effects multipliedstill facing palpitations, anxiety, stress, and all those other issues. But when I talked to my cardiologist, its like he wasn't even listening, just dismissed everything I said. Honestly, I can't focus, eat, or sleep right. Plus, my standing heart rate is hitting over 110 bpm. What should I do about this?
The side effects of minoxidil would have settled down by now .Metoprolol is for the associated anxiety only and tachycardia if any.Kindly share further details
