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?

I'm feeling really anxious lately and having these weird palpitations. Sometimes my hands and legs go numb too. I had a Holter test and an ECG but they didn't show anything. My doctor prescribed beta blockers, but I'm really worried about what's actually happening with me. Is my heart not healthy? Do I really need to take these meds forever? Are there any other tests I should consider? I'm just looking for some guidance here.
Experiencing palpitation, anxiety, and numbness in hand and leg sometimes can be due to various reasons. Since your doctor has prescribed beta blockers, it indicates that they suspect your symptoms may be related to heart issues such as arrhythmias or high blood pressure. Beta blockers help in controlling heart rate and reducing anxiety. If the Holter test and ECG did not show any abnormalities, it is a good sign that there may not be any serious underlying heart conditions. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other factors such as anxiety disorders, thyroid issues, or even vitamin deficiencies. If you are concerned about taking medications long-term, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative treatment options or lifestyle changes that may help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication use, as they are prescribed based on your specific condition. In addition to the tests you have already done, your doctor may recommend further tests such as a thyroid function test, vitamin B12 levels, or a stress test to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. It is essential to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. Remember, every individual is different, and treatment plans may vary based on your specific health condition.
