I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?
The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?
yes

I've been having this burning sensation in my left arm for the last four months. It happens even when Im just resting and not doing anything. It's accompanied by shoulder pain, mild chest pain sometimes, and other weird pains in my upper abdomen, neck, and jaw. Ive gone through a bunch of tests like ECG, Echo, 2D X-ray, and stress TMT, and they all came back normal. I've been told it's just anxiety or maybe cervical spondylosis, but Im super scared and can't shake off this feeling that its a heart problem. Do you think these symptoms could be related to some cardiac issue, or am I just overthinking?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and cervical spondylosis. The burning sensation in your left arm, shoulder pain, upper abdomen pain, muscle pains, neck pain, jaw pain, and mild chest pain could all be related to these conditions. Since your ECG, 2D echo, x-ray, and stress TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac problem. To help with your symptoms, you can take medications like acetaminophen for pain relief and muscle relaxants for muscle pains. Additionally, you can use anti-anxiety medications like lorazepam to help with your anxiety symptoms. For cervical spondylosis, you can take medications like ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is important to also practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Physical therapy and neck exercises can also be beneficial for cervical spondylosis. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
