I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?

I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?

The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

I'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 been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.
