I'm feeling a pinching pain on the left side of my chest that's been bugging me for the past week. I originally thought it might just be gas and tried having soda with lime several times, which only relieved it briefly. Could there be something else going on, or is it really just related to gas? Could you help me figure this out?

View allI've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?
Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a bit unsure about this medication Prolomet R 25 that my cardiologist prescribed. They said not to worry after some tests, but I found out it's a beta blocker, and I'm concerned because I don't have any blood pressure issues. Could you please guide me on if and how I should stop taking it?
Prolomet R 25, a beta-blocker, is often prescribed for heart-related issues such as palpitations, anxiety, or to improve heart function, even if you do not have high blood pressure. If you have concerns about this medication, do not stop taking it abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or exacerbation of your condition. Instead, consult your cardiologist to discuss your concerns and to determine whether you need to continue the medication or if it can be gradually tapered off under medical supervision. Your doctor can provide a safe plan for discontinuing the medication if it is deemed appropriate.

I'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?
The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.
