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.

Every time I get an ECG, it shows sinus tachycardia. I dont have any known heart issues, but my heart always beats faster than normal. Should I be worried about this?
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. In most cases, it is not a cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing persistent symptoms or have underlying heart conditions, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and practicing relaxation techniques.

I'm feeling a little concerned because I've noticed a pulsing sensation on the right side of my neck. It's like I can actually see the pulse, and I think it might be from my carotid artery. It's only happening on the right side. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?
Feeling a pulsing sensation in the right side of your neck, particularly if it corresponds with the carotid pulse, can be due to several reasons. It might simply be your normal carotid artery pulse, which can sometimes become more noticeable due to factors like anxiety, increased heart rate, or hypertension. However, if the pulsing is new, pronounced, or accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or visual changes, it could indicate an underlying vascular or cardiac condition that requires evaluation. It would be prudent to consult your healthcare provider for a thorough assessment to rule out conditions such as carotid artery disease or other vascular abnormalities.
