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 a bit confused about my blood pressure readings. When I'm lying down, my BP usually stays under 12080. But when I sit up, it changes to somewhere between 13095 and 140100. I'm currently taking Telma, and I'm just wondering if these lying-down readings are reliable or if I should focus on the sitting-up ones. Do you think I need to change my dose, or does it seem like my blood pressure is under control based on the lying-down numbers?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure in different positions to get a comprehensive view of your overall blood pressure control. In your case, it seems like your blood pressure is well controlled when lying down but slightly elevated when sitting up. This could indicate that your current dose of Telma may not be fully controlling your blood pressure in all positions. I would recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to consider adjusting your Telma dosage or exploring other treatment options to ensure that your blood pressure remains within a healthy range in all positions.

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.
