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 really worried because my ECG report says "old lateral infarct sinus rhythm." I'm not sure what that means exactly. Could you help me understand it? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
The ECG report indicating an old lateral infarct means that there was a previous heart attack that affected the lateral (side) part of the heart. Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you may be prescribed medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.

I've been having motion problems for about 4 years now, and it's really tiring me out. Sometimes my heart starts beating really fast, and I get a fever a few times a week. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
These can be symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and intermittent fever. To address your motion problem and fast heart rate, you can try using propranolol. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
