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've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?

do Ecg , troponin test and consult physician

I'm curious about the Inderal LA 20 tablet. What exactly is it used for? Can it help with blood pressure, or is it meant for something else?

Inderal LA 20 tablet is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), as well as to prevent chest pain (angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack. Propranolol can also be used to prevent migraine headaches and to manage symptoms of anxiety. The usual dosage for high blood pressure is 120-240 mg per day, divided into smaller doses.
