I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allI'm dealing with some chest pain and recently found out my blood pressure's been high at 14090 for the past two weeks, plus I've got high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed Rosuvas 10mg for the cholesterol but didn't give me anything for the blood pressure. Is it okay if I take EMBETA XR 50 along with Rosuvas just for a few days to manage the BP?
It is not advisable to take EMBETA XR 50 (Metoprolol) without consulting your doctor, especially since you have high blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to have your blood pressure monitored regularly while taking this medication. If your doctor did not prescribe a blood pressure medication initially, it is best to follow up with them to discuss the need for adding EMBETA XR 50 to your current treatment plan.

I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?
Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
