I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

View allI'm wondering if I should stop taking Concur cor 2.5 that I've been on for a month. I found out last month during a routine check-up that I had a 7.5 load of APCs supraventricular in the holter, which is why it was prescribed. But I didn't really have any symptoms before, and Im not feeling any now. Lots of folks say I might not have needed it in the first place, and I'm a bit worried that taking it when it's not necessary might have side effects. If I do decide to stop, what's the best way to taper off since I heard stopping beta blockers suddenly isn't good? Also, are there any follow-up tests I should be doing after I stop the medication? My echo was normal last month.
It is important not to stop beta blockers suddenly to avoid any rebound effects. Since you have been taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month and are feeling fine, you can consider tapering off the medication gradually. I recommend reducing the dosage by half for a week, then halving it again for another week before stopping completely. This tapering schedule helps your body adjust gradually and reduces the risk of any withdrawal symptoms. Regarding side effects, taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month is generally safe, especially if you have not experienced any bothersome symptoms. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, or changes in heart rate, but if you have not noticed any issues, it is unlikely that you will experience them now. Since your echo results were normal last month, there may not be an immediate need for follow-up tests after stopping the medication. However, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.

I'm having some muscle pain when I stretch, especially along my chest rib and it even feels like it's coming from the back. I got an ECG and echo done, and they came back normal, but I still feel this discomfort on the upper left side of my chest. I'm getting a bit scared, especially when I sometimes have shortness of breath. Could this be costochondritis or something to do with my lungs or heart?
