I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

I've been experiencing this weird, needle-like pain on the left side of my chest for over a month now, about 34 days to be exact. It comes and goes, and it's really starting to worry me. I got an ECG done, but it came out normal. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be looking into?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since your ECG is normal, it's good news that there may not be any major heart issues. However, it's still important to address the symptoms you are experiencing. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities until the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure shooting up to 14090 all of a sudden. I've had high BP since I was 33, and now I'm 38. My weight is around 110 kg and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall, so I know I'm quite obese. I stress out easily and can get pretty angry. There's been times I've broken stuff at home when my family doesnt listen to me. I had my heart checked by a cardiologist 1.5 years ago with an Echo and a TMT, and everything seemed fine, but my BP still spikes. I was initially prescribed Telma 40 mg, and now Im on Stamlo 5 mg daily. My heart rate jumps to 130 if I walk fast for just a kilometer. Is this normal? I'm also an asthma patient, and I find myself taking deep breaths a lot. Why do these sudden BP spikes and high heart rates happen to me?

Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing episodes of sudden high blood pressure due to various factors such as obesity, stress, and possibly uncontrolled anger. The combination of these factors can contribute to spikes in blood pressure. It's good that you have been evaluated by a Cardiologist and have undergone tests to rule out any underlying heart issues. To help manage your blood pressure, you are currently taking Stamlo 5mg, which is a brand name for Amlodipine. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. In addition to this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling, and addressing anger management. Regarding your heart rate reaching 130 beats per minute during physical activity, it can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular exercise. However, since you are also an Asthma patient, it is important to monitor your heart rate during physical activity and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms. Overall, it is essential to continue taking your medication as prescribed, make necessary lifestyle modifications, and keep track of your blood pressure regularly. If you have any further concerns or if your symptoms persist, please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
