I've been having these sudden chills or a cold feeling in my chest while I'm asleep, and it's been happening on and off, like a couple of times a week for the last few months. I already saw a cardiologist and did some tests to make sure it's not heart disease because I'm a 35-year-old guy who was recently told I have hypertension. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

I'm really stressed about my recent health issues. My blood pressure was 190100 two weeks ago, and I've been on medication since then. I've checked a couple of times after starting the meds, and my bp was 15090 and another time 17090. It's worrying me, and to top it off, I've been getting random pains in my left neck and shoulder, which makes sleeping hard. The cardiologist said my ECG and echo are normal. My cholesterol is fine, but I'm low on vitamin D and B12, so I'm taking supplements. Also just found out my blood sugar is high, so I'm on meds for that too. One doctor mentioned that the medicine might be causing the pain and that it might take weeks for my bp to stabilize. Is that true? Would love some insight into this.
It is common for blood pressure levels to take some time to stabilize after starting medication. In your case, since your initial blood pressure reading was high at 190100, it may take a few weeks for the medication to fully lower your blood pressure to a normal range. The random pains in your left neck and shoulder could be related to muscle tension or other factors, but it's good that you have already consulted a cardiologist who found your ECG and echo to be normal. Regarding your vitamin deficiencies and high blood sugar, it's important to continue taking your supplements and medication as prescribed. For high blood pressure, it's essential to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen consistently. One commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure is Losartan, typically starting at a dosage of 50mg once daily. It's crucial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any persistent symptoms or concerns to your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
