I'm having this ache in my left hand and sometimes it goes numb, it's been going on for about 10 months now. I had an ECG, TMT, and an echo done back in September last year, and everything came back normal. But I can't shake off this anxiety that there might be something wrong with my heart. On top of that, I've been having sharp chest pains every day since last year. What could be causing this and what should I do about it? Please help.

Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, since your previous cardiac tests were normal, your symptoms could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the chest pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with the ache and numbness in your left hand. It is also advisable to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and management of the numbness in your hand.

Ive been having trouble with my breathing, and my pulse rate is pretty high. My doctor mentioned something about sinus tachycardia and gave me propranolol to take. After using it for a couple of days, I've started to notice swelling in my fingers. What kind of tests or investigations do you think I should consider? And should I be worried about this swelling? Any advice would be really helpful.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
