I'm curious about the Inderal LA 20 tablet. What exactly is it used for? Can it help with blood pressure, or is it meant for something else?

Inderal LA 20 tablet is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), as well as to prevent chest pain (angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack. Propranolol can also be used to prevent migraine headaches and to manage symptoms of anxiety. The usual dosage for high blood pressure is 120-240 mg per day, divided into smaller doses.

I've been dealing with neck pain for the past 20 days, and now I'm starting to feel pain on the left side of my chest and in my shoulders. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain that is radiating from your neck to your chest and shoulders. I recommend taking Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel to the affected areas. Make sure to rest your neck, avoid any strenuous activities, and practice good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm currently taking Ld 1075 mg capsules and I've also been using Rosumac Gold. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT test, and all the results came back normal. Six months ago, my sugar levels were high, so I'm keeping an eye on that. My lipid profile and cholesterol levels seem normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Can you tell me if there are any side effects I should watch out for with these medications, especially since I'm a sugar patient?

continue same treatment , salt restricted diet ,, DASH diet with fruits,legumes and green leafy vegetables are advised ..Also aerobic exercises daily advised to the patient..

I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?

It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
