I'm really concerned about the long-term effects of beta blockers for managing hypertension. I've heard they might raise blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Can you suggest which beta blocker is the safest and has the least side effects?

View allI'm 35 and I've been having this pain in the middle of my chest since last evening. It feels like it's right in my chest cage and it gets worse when I move around. I'm not having any trouble breathing, which is a bit of a relief. Before this, I had some lower back pain, but that kind of went away on its own. And just last week, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics like augmentin and medications like pantoprazole and meftal Combiflam based on the symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest a treatment? I'm a bit concerned about this chest pain.

Every time I get an ECG, it shows sinus tachycardia. I dont have any known heart issues, but my heart always beats faster than normal. Should I be worried about this?
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. In most cases, it is not a cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing persistent symptoms or have underlying heart conditions, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and practicing relaxation techniques.

I'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?
