I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

I've been experiencing this odd pin-pricking sensation on the left side of my chest for the past couple of days. It's happening now and then, not consistently. I remember having similar pain about three years ago, but it went away on its own back then. Should I be worried this time? What might be causing this sensation?
pin-pricking sensation in the left side of the chest can be unsettling. Given that you've experienced similar pain 3 years ago, which resolved on its own, it's essential to take this incident seriously and explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Costochondritis_: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone can cause sharp, stabbing pains. 2. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained or pulled muscles in the chest wall can lead to pin-pricking sensations. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or stomach ulcers can cause chest pain. 4. _Cardiovascular concerns_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out cardiovascular issues, such as angina or pericarditis. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when the pin-pricking sensation occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities_: Until you've consulted with your doctor, avoid any activities that may exacerbate the discomfort. If you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Pain radiating to your arms, back, or jaw

I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?
Your blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal and falls within the healthy range. Since you have a healthy lifestyle, there is no immediate cause for concern. However, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
