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.

I'm really worried after finding out from my CT coronary angiography that I have soft plaque in the proximal LAD causing moderate narrowing, and there's bridging in the mid LAD. Thankfully, my heart scan and 2D echo are normal. But now I'm kind of stressed about what precautions I should be taking and what medicines might help. I just feel unsure about the next steps and would love some guidance. What should I do to manage this situation?
Its understandable to feel concerned, but with your CT angiography showing mild narrowing (60%) and normal 2D echo, it suggests your heart function is still intact. For now, focus on lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and medications like aspirin or statins as prescribed by your doctor to prevent further plaque buildup. Stay in close contact with your cardiologist for regular check-ups and guidance.

I've been prescribed Concor 2.5 for a week to help manage my panic attack symptoms, specifically the rapid heart rate and adrenaline rushes I get at night. Is it safe to continue taking it beyond a week? And if I decide to stop, is it okay to just quit all of a sudden? Also, is it alright to work out while I'm on Concor 2.5?
Better not to stop the tablet suddenly, since it may aggrevate the symptoms.u may require a cardiologist opinion for echo review. Exercise is not recommended ..
