I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?

it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Why do I get this pain in my chest on the left side when I climb stairs or even shout? I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, TMT, and CT angio, and they all came back normal. The CT showed no blockage but mentioned deep myocardial bridges. My cardiologist says it's not angina or heart disease but put me on Beta lock 0.25 twice a day. Anytime I get startled awake or shout when I'm angry, the pain starts again, spreading to my left back, arms, and neck. It's so confusing because the doc says it's nothing serious, but the pain keeps coming back and it's worrisome. Do you have any idea what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks, which can manifest as chest pain and other physical symptoms. The Beta Block medication prescribed by your cardiologist can help manage these symptoms by reducing the effects of adrenaline on your body. In addition to the medication, it may be helpful to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and regular physical activity. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and possibly a referral to a mental health professional for additional support. Remember to take your Beta Block medication as prescribed and try to incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm a bit concerned because I was on medication for blood pressure until November, but stopped after my doctor said my BP levels were normal. It's been fine for the past five months, but now I notice my home readings are at 13898. I've had 500 ml of beer each day for the last two days before this reading. Should I be worried about this change, or is there something I can try before considering going back on medication?
It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after noticing an increase like 13898. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and recent alcohol consumption, it's advisable to take action to lower your blood pressure. You can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can consider taking medication again as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure. If these measures do not lower your blood pressure, it's essential to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
