I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

View allI'm a 23-year-old guy experiencing some weird chest pains that also hit my shoulders, arms, back, and even my abdomen. It's like a burning pain that moves around, and I'm worried because it's not constant. I went to the doctor, and they said my ECG is normal, but I still don't know what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of musculoskeletal pain or nerve irritation. To help with the pain in your chest, arms, shoulders, and back, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas for relief. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about this ongoing pain I've been having. I've had pain in my left chest, shoulder, arm, and leg for about 56 months now. I got all the tests done like ECG, 2D echo, and a chest X-ray, and they were all fine, but that was 34 months ago. However, they did find a vitamin D deficiency, and there was something about my cervical spine in the X-ray. Now, for the past 34 days, I've been experiencing pain in my left jaw too. Should I be concerned that this is related to my heart or do you think there's something else I need to look into? What would be your advice on what to do next?
Given your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to consider the possibility of angina or heart-related chest pain. Since you are experiencing left jaw pain along with other symptoms, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) as a precautionary measure. Additionally, continue to address your vitamin D deficiency with supplements and follow up on your cervical issue with appropriate treatment.

I'm having this pain that comes and goes around my chest and shoulder area, but it's mostly around my heart. I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks and I'm worried about what it could be. I had an ECG and a chest X-ray done at a diagnostic center, and there were no issues found. I'm 28 years old and weigh 81 kilos. Could you suggest any medicine for pain relief, or do you think I should be looking into something else? I'm actually quite puzzled about what's going on.
