I'm a bit worried about my health and would appreciate some advice. Recently, I've managed to reduce my high blood pressure in just 12 days, which is great, but now I'm experiencing some weird symptoms. Occasionally, I have this sharp chest pain on the left side that feels like I'm being poked with a needle. Sometimes it switches to the right side, and drinking water seems to trigger a bit of pain too. It feels like something's touching my chest inside. My shoulder also feels uncomfortable at times. I've also been passing a lot of gas and sometimes my throat feels really full. These symptoms are similar to what I experienced about two months ago. Does this sound like something serious?
The symptoms you describe, including high blood pressure, chest pain, shoulder discomfort, excessive gas, and a sensation of fullness in the throat, could be due to a combination of gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal factors, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain and discomfort, while musculoskeletal issues could explain the needle-like pain and shoulder discomfort. To manage these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions and confirm a diagnosis. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, stress reduction, and avoiding large or spicy meals, as well as medication like antacids for GERD and pain relievers for musculoskeletal pain. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and following your doctor's advice on managing it is also important.

I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is always between 95 and 120. I have high blood pressure and I'm on Olmat 20. Right now, with the digital machine, my blood pressure is reading around 130 to 145 over 85 to 100. Why is my pulse rate high, and is there any treatment I should consider?
