I'm a bit worried because about a month ago I started having constant chest pain and it spread to my left shoulder and hand. I got a general checkup and found out my blood pressure was 160100, but my ECG and 2D echo and sugar levels were normal. They did say my triglycerides and uric acid were high, and I have a fatty liver, so I've been on a strict diet for three months, cutting out salt and doing regular walks. After 10 days, my blood pressure dropped to 12080, which I guess is good! My dad and grandpa had heart issues, so I'm a bit concerned if it's hereditary. Right now, Im on Telma 40 and Concor 5mg but since my blood pressure is normal, Im not sure if I should continue with these meds. Also, my left shoulder and chest still hurt. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really confused right now.

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having this chest pain and it's like the bones in his chest are hurting too. We went to a general physician who thought it could be gas-related, but the tablets he prescribed haven't helped after a week. I've noticed his chest bones seem to be swelling a bit, and he describes it as feeling like there's a heavy weight there. Interestingly, he sometimes feels relief and no pressure on his chest after he passes bowel movements. Also, he has a sitting job as securitycould that be making his chest pain worse? Should we get an X-ray to find out what's going on, or is there a specific medication you might recommend?
