I'm experiencing this sharp, pin-like pain in my chest and back. It was really bad in January, but now it's not as intense, just feels like pins. I had my ECG done and everything came back normal. Can you tell me what precautions I should take?

Given your symptoms of pin-like pain in the chest and back, and a normal ECG, consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out conditions like pericarditis, costochondritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); in the meantime, avoid heavy lifting, maintain a healthy weight, manage stress, and avoid triggers like spicy or fatty foods that can exacerbate symptoms.

View allI'm worried that my anxiety might be causing my blood pressure to increase. Its been six months, and while I dont feel as anxious now, I still feel a strong pulse all overchest, fingers, head, neck, legs, everywhere. Its really affecting my life! Ive tried everythingeating better, exercising, meditatingand nothing helps. My blood pressure and pulse are still the same. I even tried magnesium, but no change. I'm really scared about the side effects of anxiety and blood pressure meds. If this is anxiety, how long will it take to go away? What should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are affecting your blood pressure and pulse. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) at a low dose of 10-20mg once or twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as a bounding pulse. Additionally, for anxiety relief, you can consider taking Escitalopram (Lexapro) at a dose of 10mg daily. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that can help alleviate anxiety symptoms. It is important to note that the duration for anxiety to be cured varies from person to person. With medication and therapy, many individuals see improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks to a few months. It is recommended to continue with the prescribed treatment plan and follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.

I've just had an ECG, and the doctor mentioned there were some issues. They suggested I get an ECHO, which thankfully turned out to be normal. Now they've advised me to go for an angiography. I'm a bit uncertain about going for another test. Could you help me understand why it might be necessary? Also, they've prescribed me Clopidogrel IP 75 mg and Atorvastatin. Could you explain what these medications are for and if there are any side effects I should be aware of? I'm feeling a little lost here and would appreciate some guidance.
yes to continue all the medications as advised ,, angiography as a prognosis is advised..

I'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..A physician and ortho opinion is advised to the patient..
