I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis

View allI've been taking cardace 2.5 mg after consulting with Dr. Anand Chopda on August 17th.

Which blood pressure medication is best for my high BP and angina pain? I'm kind of stuck because one doctor recommended Metoprolol and another suggested Amlodipine. I really want something that works well but doesn't have a lot of side effects. Can you help me figure out which one might be better?
For high blood pressure and angina pain, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare providers. Both Metoprolol and Amlodipine are commonly used medications for these conditions. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels. For proper relief and minimal side effects, a combination of both medications may be beneficial. You can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) along with Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc). The typical dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, and for Amlodipine, it is 5-10 mg once daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I'm wondering if having anxiety could affect how a procedure like angioplasty and stent placement goes. Since you're awake during it, could things like a fast pulse or high blood pressure from anxiety mess with the process? Is there any medication given to help calm you down?
Anxiety can indeed affect the angioplasty and stent placement procedure, as it can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may impact the procedure. To help relax the patient and manage anxiety during the procedure, medications such as Midazolam or Diazepam may be given. These medications can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and minimize any potential impact of anxiety on the procedure.
