I've been having some anxiety and left arm pain for a few days now. My hand just suddenly becomes weak, and theres also this annoying pain in my left shoulder and neck area. The weird thing is, I'm not sure if it's something muscular or maybe related to my glands. It kinda all started after I got my COVID vaccine on May 13th. The arm pain from the shot lasted for about 23 days, and this whole issue kicked off right after. I went ahead and got an ECG done just in case, but it came back normal. Now I'm worried if this could be heart-related since I know my HDL level is low. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else after the vaccine, or do you think it might be something else?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as anxiety, left arm pain, weakness in the hand, and pain in the left shoulder and neck area, could be related to musculoskeletal issues rather than a heart problem, especially since your ECG was normal. The arm pain you experienced after the Covid vaccine could also be a contributing factor. To address the anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and stress management strategies. For the musculoskeletal pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine can help with muscle spasms and pain. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia. My cardiologist gave me embeta xr to take for a month and after using it, I feel about 80% better. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the medicine for another month. I read online that sinus arrhythmia might not need any treatment and could just go away as I get older. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
Embeta XR is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including arrhythmias. Since you have already experienced improvement with the medication, it would be advisable to continue taking it as prescribed by your cardiologist. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the full duration of the treatment to ensure the best outcome. In this case, continuing Embeta XR for another month as prescribed would be beneficial for managing your sinus arrhythmia.

I'm having this tender chest pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's getting me worried. I did an ECG, and everything seemed fine. My TMT test was negative too, which was a relief at first. But now, I'm sometimes feeling short of breath and there's a pain in my left hand. I even had a CT Coronary Angiography last year that showed normal results. What could be going on? Could you help me figure this out?
