I'm experiencing a sharp pain in my chest area that worsens when I breathe in, and it radiates into my back. I'm also having heart palpitations. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm really worried about this.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related issues.

I've been having some anxiety and left arm pain for a few days now. My hand just suddenly becomes weak, and theres also this annoying pain in my left shoulder and neck area. The weird thing is, I'm not sure if it's something muscular or maybe related to my glands. It kinda all started after I got my COVID vaccine on May 13th. The arm pain from the shot lasted for about 23 days, and this whole issue kicked off right after. I went ahead and got an ECG done just in case, but it came back normal. Now I'm worried if this could be heart-related since I know my HDL level is low. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else after the vaccine, or do you think it might be something else?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as anxiety, left arm pain, weakness in the hand, and pain in the left shoulder and neck area, could be related to musculoskeletal issues rather than a heart problem, especially since your ECG was normal. The arm pain you experienced after the Covid vaccine could also be a contributing factor. To address the anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and stress management strategies. For the musculoskeletal pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine can help with muscle spasms and pain. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my blood pressure is reading 11290. That means my diastolic pressure is high, right? I've also had a light headache. Should I be worried about this, and could you suggest some treatments?

Your blood pressure reading of 11290 with a high diastolic pressure of 90 may indicate hypertension. To help lower your blood pressure and alleviate your symptoms of light headache, you can try taking an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
