I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?

Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been monitoring my blood pressure, and it's currently at 165108. I'm already on amlodipine 5 mg. I'm 57 years old, so I'm wondering what you would recommend for my situation. Should I consider adjusting my medication or adding something new?
At your age of 57 with a blood pressure of 165108, in addition to amlodipine 5mg, I would recommend adding a medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any adjustments in your treatment plan.

I'm really stressed out because I've had a few ECGs recently, with the last two done today. They show sinus rhythm with marked left axis deviation, and it's consistent with LAFB, but at the same time, it says there's no significant abnormalities. Without any medical insurance, I'm super worried. Is this something serious? Can you explain what all of this means?
Sinus rhythm with left axis deviation and left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) on ECG can be a normal variant in some individuals. It may not always indicate a serious underlying heart condition. However, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Metoprolol (25-50mg twice daily) to help manage any associated symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
