I've been experiencing this weird right chest pain for the past three days, and it's been bothering me quite a bit. It even seems to make my hand hurt, which is really concerning. I'm not sure what's causing this discomfort. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of acdt problem? I'm not really familiar with what that means. What should I do?

View allI'm really concerned about this pain I'm experiencing. It's not just in my chest but also in my back near the shoulder blade, and it's accompanied by headaches and some numbness in my left hand. I've also been feeling short of breath. I had an ECG done, and it came back normal. What could be going on here? Should I be worried or looking into something else?

I'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?
Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.
