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 feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?
The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like **Propranolol** at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package

I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?
Patient is advised pulmonary function test(PFT).
