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'm a bit worried because I've developed a fever of 101F after taking the COVID vaccine, and I'm currently taking Dolo 650 for it. I have a history of high blood pressure and usually take Amodep in the morning and Telmikind 40 at night. I also use the Dulion Rotacap for my asthma. Is it safe for me to take my night dose of Telmikind 40 after Ive already taken the Dolo 650? Are there any interactions I should be concerned about? Also, my body is aching and my pulse rate is between 90 to 110. Should I be concerned about any of these symptoms?
After taking the COVID vaccine, you can take your prescribed medications, including Telmikind 40, as directed by your doctor; Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) and Telmikind 40 (Telmisartan) can be taken together, but ensure a 2-3 hour gap to minimize potential interactions; monitor your blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, and consult your doctor if you experience any concerns, such as a pulse rate exceeding 110 or severe body aches.

I'm a bit worried about my TMT results that showed inducible ischemia and mentioned a 1 mm ST change in certain leads during exercise. My max heart rate reached 206, with a maximum blood pressure of 18580, and I'm only 33 years old. I exercised for a total of 6 minutes and 19 seconds, reaching a workload of 7.40 METS, but the test was stopped when I hit my max heart rate. My 2D Echo came back normal. Do you think I need to get an angiogram, or is there anything else I should consider?
Given your positive TMT result showing inducible ischemia with 1 mm ST depression in multiple leads, achieving maximum heart rate during the test, and normal 2D Echo results, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate the extent and severity of coronary artery disease, especially considering your young age (33) and high workload achieved during the test; consult your cardiologist to discuss the risks and benefits of an angiogram and determine the best course of action.
