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?

My brother had angioplasty about a month ago, and lately, he's been experiencing frequent nosebleeds. It's worrying because whenever he sneezes or coughs, blood comes out of his nose and mouth. He's currently taking blood thinners and anticoagulant medicines for blood pressure. Is this a normal reaction, or should we be concerned?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was at 140100, so my doctor put me on Telma 20, taking it once a day. I've been on it for four days now, and today my blood pressure dropped to 10040. Is it safe to keep taking this medication?
