I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?

It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, headaches, and low pulse pressure despite being on Inderal LA 20 for hypertension. Since your PFT, ECG, and echo results are normal, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. Given your history of allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to an underlying respiratory issue. Considering your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of trying a different medication for your allergic conditions. You may benefit from a nasal corticosteroid spray such as Flonase (fluticasone) for allergic rhinitis and an inhaled corticosteroid like Qvar (beclomethasone) for allergic bronchitis. These medications can help reduce inflammation in your airways and improve your breathing. In addition, since you are experiencing persistent headaches, your doctor may consider prescribing a medication like Propranolol (Inderal) at a higher dose to help with both your headaches and high heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Overall, it is important to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and find an appropriate treatment plan.
