I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

View allI've been taking some medication for high blood pressure and a high heart rate, which was prescribed for a month. After just a couple of days, my BP and heart rate are back to normal. Do I still need to keep taking the tablets for a full month even if everything seems okay now? Is there a chance the medicine could make my blood pressure and heart rate drop too low?
It is important to continue taking the medication for the full duration as prescribed by your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The medication is likely helping to regulate your blood pressure and heart rate, so it is important to complete the full course to ensure long-term control. It is unlikely that the medication will cause low blood pressure and low heart rate now, especially if your levels are currently normal. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm experiencing some pain in my hand after the angiogram test. Could you let me know what might help ease it? Im a bit worried about why this is happening.
After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
