I'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?

Based on your symptoms of left hand cramp, chest pain, and left arm pain, along with a normal ECG result and slightly elevated heart rate possibly due to stress, it is important to consider muscle relaxants and pain relievers. You can take acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine 5mg to help with the hand cramp. It is important to take these medications as directed on the packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional

View allI'm a bit concerned after my recent health check-up. My ECG showed moderate ST depression, but my 2D Echo came out normal. My blood pressure was also 14590.

I've been having a fast heart rate between 100 and 120 over the last few days. I'm using a brown inhaler for my asthma and an over-the-counter decongestant because of nasal polyps. Could these meds be causing it? If I stop taking them, how long might it take for my heart rate to go back to normal?
Both your asthma inhaler medication and the over-the-counter decongestant can contribute to an increased heart rate. The bronchodilator medication in your inhaler can cause a temporary increase in heart rate as a side effect. Similarly, decongestants can also stimulate the heart and lead to a faster heart rate. If you stop taking these medications, your heart rate should return to normal within a few hours to a few days, depending on how long you have been taking them and your body's response. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
