I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've been dealing with anxiety for a few years now, which makes my hands sweat and sometimes I get chest pains that last for seconds or minutes. I've been on Gudpress AM 50 for the past six months, but it makes my face feel tight for about six hours after taking it. I stopped taking it two days ago, but my blood pressure has been around 150100 and 14090 in this time. Is there another blood pressure medication I can try? Before Gudpress AM 50, I was taking Cinod 10. Any advice would be great.

It sounds like you are experiencing side effects from Gudpress AM 50 (which contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine) such as tightness on your face. Since you are also dealing with anxiety symptoms and high blood pressure, you can consider switching to a different medication for your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a different medication such as Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) at a suitable dosage to help manage your blood pressure without causing unwanted side effects. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that can be effective in treating high blood pressure and has a lower risk of causing facial tightness compared to Amlodipine. Remember to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription adjustment based on your individual health needs.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG report shows something called right axis deviation. But, I have normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and my heart rate is usually under 80. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm having this ache in my left hand and sometimes it goes numb, it's been going on for about 10 months now. I had an ECG, TMT, and an echo done back in September last year, and everything came back normal. But I can't shake off this anxiety that there might be something wrong with my heart. On top of that, I've been having sharp chest pains every day since last year. What could be causing this and what should I do about it? Please help.
Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, since your previous cardiac tests were normal, your symptoms could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the chest pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with the ache and numbness in your left hand. It is also advisable to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and management of the numbness in your hand.
