I'm dealing with some pretty persistent pain in my jaw, neck, shoulder, back, and left arm that I've had for the last three months, and the jaw pain just started about a week ago. About 25 days back, I had an ECG, TMT, and troponin blood test, and they all came back normal. Before that, three months ago, I had earlier done an ECG, TMT, and ECHO test, and those were normal too. But the pain hasn't gotten any better, and it's really stressing me out. Can you suggest what I should do next in terms of treatment or any other tests I need to consider?

Based on your symptoms and normal test results, it sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain and tension. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac to the affected areas. For muscle relaxation, you can try a muscle relaxant medication such as cyclobenzaprine. It is important to maintain good posture, practice relaxation techniques, and consider physical therapy to help alleviate your symptoms. If the pain persists, further evaluation by a specialist such as a physiotherapist or orthopedic doctor may be necessary.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?
It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm feeling really anxious because I'm going for an echocardiogram soon, and I'm worried that my heartbeat might increase during the test. Do you think it's okay for me to take Cipla 10 before the echo? Will it affect the results in any way?

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?
To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.
