I'm taking medicine for high BP, but I'm having this recurring chest pain, and it's really concerning. On top of that, I'm dealing with severe throat pain, making it hard for me to eat or swallow anything. My blood pressure is all over the place, and I'm not sure what foods I should be eating or what precautions I should be taking. Could you provide some advice on how to handle this situation?

View allI recently quit smoking after experiencing persistent chest pain that lasted for a month, though it eventually disappeared after some rest. Now, I'm feeling these sudden sharp pains in my chest that vanish as quickly as they come. I work more than 10 hours a day while sitting. Should I be concerned about these new pains?

So my mom had a very mild case of COVID, and it's been over two weeks since she's recovered, but she's been having this slight chest pain every now and then. It doesn't last long, like about 34 minutes at most. Im kinda worried about what could be causing this. Any idea what might be going on?
Chest pain that comes and goes after recovering from COVID-19 could be due to inflammation of the chest wall muscles or costochondritis. I recommend she take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
