I recently quit smoking after experiencing persistent chest pain that lasted for a month, though it eventually disappeared after some rest. Now, I'm feeling these sudden sharp pains in my chest that vanish as quickly as they come. I work more than 10 hours a day while sitting. Should I be concerned about these new pains?

I'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?

Based on your symptoms of left hand cramp, chest pain, and left arm pain, along with a normal ECG result and slightly elevated heart rate possibly due to stress, it is important to consider muscle relaxants and pain relievers. You can take acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine 5mg to help with the hand cramp. It is important to take these medications as directed on the packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional

I've been noticing that my heart often beats really strongly, and this has been going on for several years now. Last year, I got an ECG and the doctor said I have high blood pressure and some other issues, recommending that I see a cardiologist. What could be causing these strong heartbeats, and should I be concerned about the high blood pressure?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to your high blood pressure. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg once daily. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your heart condition.
