I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.

View allI've been feeling a sharp pin-like pain on the left side of my chest, close to my armpit, and it's moving towards my shoulder blade. I've been dealing with cervical spondylosis, so I'm not sure if it's related to that. This started yesterday and happened before, but usually, it goes away in a few hours. This time it's been almost a day and it's still bothering me. I'm also noticing a burning sensation in my throat. What do you think might be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your cervical spondylosis. The pain traveling from your left side of the chest near the armpit to your shoulder blade could be due to nerve compression or irritation in the cervical spine. The burning feeling in your throat may be related to acid reflux or irritation of the esophagus. To help with the pain and burning sensation, you can take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen. I recommend taking ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can try using a heating pad on the affected area to help relax the muscles and alleviate discomfort. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management of your cervical spondylosis and associated symptoms.

I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
