I've been noticing this fluttering feeling under my left breast and I'm not sure if it's my heart or something with my stomach. On top of that, I keep feeling hot and cold at the same time, and my feet are freezing, even with socks on. I struggle with bad anxiety and panic attacks, plus I'm bipolar, and I've been a hypochondriac since I was little. I'm constantly worried about having a heart attack. What could be going on?

View allI've been having some discomfort in my left arm, mostly around the shoulder joint and it also reaches down to my wrist. It's not super intense, but the pain is noticeable. Occasionally, I also experience a chest pain on the left side that comes and goes, but it usually feels better after I burp a few times. Does anyone know if this could be a heart issue, just gastric pain, or maybe something else? I did get a general health check-up last year, including heart tests like ECG, chest X-ray, and treadmill test, and everything was normal back then. Any thoughts on what this might be?

I've been taking olmezest 40 for my blood pressure, but I'm feeling really fatigued. My BP is currently 14085 after stopping Aten two days ago. Do you think olmezest 40 is the best option for me, or would you suggest a different BP tablet? I'm a bit concerned about the fatigue.
