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.

I'm really worried because I've been having heart palpitations for at least 3 hours. Can anxiety really cause them to go on for so long? And is it possible that someone could die from continuous heart palpitations like this?

Continuous heart palpitations due to anxiety can be distressing, but it is unlikely to directly cause death. However, prolonged episodes of palpitations can lead to complications such as fainting or worsening anxiety symptoms. It is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the frequency and intensity of palpitations. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control the heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've recently had an angioplasty to clear a blockage in my main valve. It's been three days now, and I've started feeling some pain in my left shoulder after sitting for a few hours. I haven't been lifting any heavy objects or anything like that. Is this something related to my heart? Should I be worried? Please let me know what's going on.

I've been dealing with high bp since 2017 and have been taking medscinod and nebicard. Everything was stable until I gained around 10kgs after getting married, and now my bp is often spiking to 140150 and 9095. I've started incorporating some physical activity and diet control into my routine. Do you think I should consider changing my medications along with these lifestyle changes?
