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 feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing chest pain again. A few months ago, I had a TMT and it was negative, and my echo was normal. I don't have a history of any major diseases and I dont smoke or drink alcohol. But today, the pain came back, and I've been having some breathlessness because of my asthma. Could the asthma be causing this chest pain or should I be concerned about something else?
Given that your TMT and echo were normal three months ago, and you have a history of asthma, your chest pain and breathlessness might be related to asthma exacerbation rather than a cardiac issue. Asthma can cause chest tightness and breathlessness, especially during physical activity. It is important to manage your asthma effectively with your prescribed medications and follow your asthma action plan. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and ensure your asthma is well-controlled.

I've always struggled with high cholesterol, and it's been a tricky issue in my family as wellseems like a genetic thing. Every time my cholesterol spikes, I've been using Roseday 10 mg to bring it down temporarily. But I'm really interested in finding a more natural daily approach to managing it. I've heard about Himalaya Arjuna and Lahsuna tablets as potential aids. Do you think taking these daily could help keep my cholesterol levels stable and promote heart health? I'd love to find a way to manage my cholesterol without always relying on medication. What are your thoughts on this, and do you have any advice?
Taking Himalaya Arjuna and Himalaya Lahsuna tablets daily can help in maintaining your cholesterol levels and supporting heart health. Himalaya Arjuna contains Arjuna extract which helps in maintaining heart health, while Himalaya Lahsuna contains Garlic which is known to have cholesterol-lowering properties. You can take Himalaya Arjuna 1 tablet twice daily and Himalaya Lahsuna 1 tablet twice daily after meals for effective management of cholesterol levels and overall heart health.
