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.

I'm 49 years old and have been taking amlopin 2.5 for about 5 months now. My blood pressure is usually around 13585, and even though my ECG is normal, I've been feeling some unusual symptoms. Sometimes it feels like my heart is racing or beating irregularly, and I'm worried it might be causing arrhythmia or tachycardia. Can amlopin lead to this kind of fast heartbeat? Should I be concerned or look into this further?

I've been experiencing chest pain on the right upper side for a few months now, especially when I lift something heavy. Recently, the pain has also started on the left side and even near my shoulder sometimes. All my tests like RA Factor, thyroid, chest x-ray, and blood tests have come back normal. I occasionally feel mild pain near my breast too. I'm getting kind of worried. What could be causing these symptoms?
