I'm feeling worried because I've been having arm pain alongside chest pain. I've already had an EKG, some blood work, and an X-ray, and all the results were normal except the EKG, which showed some abnormalities. What might be causing this?

Given your symptoms of arm and chest pain, and abnormal EKG results despite normal blood work and X-ray, possible causes could include: musculoskeletal strain, costochondritis, pericarditis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, the abnormal EKG result warrants further evaluation, so consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out underlying cardiac conditions, such as myocardial bridging, coronary artery spasms, or cardiac syndrome X.

View allI'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090* This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is: - Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg - Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases. *Regular Body Pain* To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups: 1. *Complete Blood Count (CBC)*: To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions. 2. *Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)*: To measure inflammation in the body. 3. *C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test*: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions. 4. *Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs)*: To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain. 5. *Vitamin D levels*: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain. 6. *Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound)*: To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and they make me feel really uncomfortable and short of breath. I've also been feeling pretty tired lately. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried about this?
Heart palpitations causing discomfort and breathlessness along with fatigue can be due to various reasons. It could be related to underlying heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart valve disorders, or heart failure. Other possible causes include thyroid disorders, anxiety or panic attacks, anemia, or even certain medications. To address the symptoms, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. I recommend you consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.
