I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm being treated for bacterial overgrowth in my intestine, and so far, it's going well. But I'm a bit worried because sometimes I get this dull ache in my upper back, shoulder, and left arm. It's mostly on the left side, though it rarely happens on the right. I also feel pretty gassy. Could this discomfort be because of gas, or do you think I should be more concerned and maybe get an ECG done? I'm 37 and female, if that helps. What do you think?
It is possible that your upper back pain, shoulder pain, and arm pain on the left side could be related to gas or bloating from the bacterial overgrowth in your intestine. Gas can sometimes cause referred pain to other areas of the body, including the back and shoulders. However, given that you are also experiencing arm pain, it is important to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or even cardiac concerns. Since you are also feeling gassy, it is reasonable to try over-the-counter gas relief medications such as Simethicone to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Acetaminophen for the discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it would be prudent to seek medical attention. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and determine if further investigations such as an ECG are necessary to rule out any cardiac issues.
