I'm experiencing this weird needle-like pricking sensation in my right chest and arms, but it only happens at night, and Ive noticed it seems to occur when I drink alcohol. My blood pressure seems to range from 8095 to 120140 in the evening, but its normal in the morning. This has been going on for months now. I had an ECG done and the doctor said my heart seems fine, but he mentioned symptoms of high blood pressure over the past few months. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I could do to help with the symptoms?

This sensation in your right chest and arms, especially occurring at night after drinking alcohol, could be related to nerve irritation or inflammation. Given your fluctuating blood pressure readings, it is important to manage your blood pressure effectively to prevent any complications. I recommend you to take a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) 500mg for relief from the needle-like sensation in your chest and arms. However, it is important to limit or avoid alcohol consumption as it can exacerbate your symptoms and negatively impact your blood pressure. Please make sure to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

View allI'm a 33-year-old guy, weighing 70 kg and standing at 5'10". I've noticed that my diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 for the past few months. Do you think I should start taking medication for this? I'm really not sure what the best course of action is and could use some guidance.
Hello, as your diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 mmHg for several months, it is recommended to start medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your diastolic blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echocardiogram report. All the measurements seem to be in range and my EF is at 62, which I guess is normal? But the report mentions a mild MR on the mitral valve and mild PR on the pulmonary valve. I sometimes feel dizzy when I go outside, and my neurologist mentioned it might be cardiac neurosis. I can't shake the feeling that something might be wrong with my heart. Can you help me understand what's really going on?
In 2d echocardiogram report, all measurements are within range and EF is 62%. However, the report shows mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and mild pulmonary regurgitation (PR). You mentioned feeling dizziness sometimes when you go outside, and a neurologist suggested it may be a cardiac neurosis issue. It's understandable to be concerned about the findings in the report. The mild MR and PR in the echocardiogram report are common findings and may not necessarily be the cause of your symptoms. In your case, where the EF is normal and other measurements are within range, these mild valve issues may not be the primary reason for your dizziness. To address your symptoms of dizziness, it would be important to consider other factors such as hydration, blood pressure, inner ear issues, or anxiety. However, if you are still concerned about the mild valve issues, you can discuss with your cardiologist about monitoring them periodically. For your dizziness, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid sudden position changes, and practice relaxation techniques. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed. I hope this information helps alleviate some of your concerns.

I'm really anxious about this pain I'm having under my left breast, and it's going down towards my rib. It's this heavy pressure that feels really tender and occasionally there's a sharp pain. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's pretty scary. There's also this sensation like bubbles in that area. What could this be? Is it something serious?
