I'm having this sharp pain in my chest, kind of in the middle but a little to the left, but it really only hits when I move my shoulder forward. Lately, I've also noticed this chest pain and feeling of unease when I'm lying down, though it seems to go away if I start walking or just stand up. I'm getting a bit worried. Could this be related to my heart or lungs?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, especially since the pain worsens with shoulder movement. However, given your recent chest pain and uneasiness while lying down, it's important to rule out any heart or lung issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) for the musculoskeletal pain. If the chest pain persists or worsens, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible imaging tests like an ECG or chest X-ray.

I'm currently taking Inbloc 5mg twice a day since 2014 for my high BP and haven't been given an end date for it. I'm wondering if there's any way I can manage my high blood pressure without relying on medication like this forever. Also, I'm curious if I can switch to another medication like Nelovin Forte 5mg, C UDP, or Cilday 5mg instead of Inbloc. What are your thoughts?

yes C UDP can be used for hypertension. it is a calcium channel blocker
