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.

View allI'm experiencing some mild chest pain around my ribs, both on the right side and the far left side of my chest. It's a bit worrying because when I walk for about 10 minutes, I start feeling really fatigued even though my oxygen level seems to be fine at 99. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm 22 and have been feeling something weird in my heart for about a week now. It's hard to explain, but it's like something is wrong near my heart. I can still walk 5km, run, lift weights, and eat normally. However, when I drink water, it feels like it's going toward my heart. Also, I have a slight pain in my right thigh. I'm getting a bit worried because I'm planning to go to the UK next month. Is this something serious that I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart issues. The sensation you are feeling near your heart, along with the thigh pain, could be related to various factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of Aspirin (75-100mg) once daily to help with any potential heart-related concerns. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities until you have been evaluated by a healthcare professional.
