I've been experiencing some concerning health issues lately and could really use some guidance. I'm 32, from Hyderabad, and generally healthyI don't smoke and only drink beer like once in every three or four months. I used to be really active with running, climbing, and cycling, even training for triathlons. But around five months ago, I started having chest pain that spreads to my back and left arm, especially when I'm lying down. Despite having had an ECG, echo, TMT, troponin, and a CT angiography, all these tests came back negative. The only thing I've been diagnosed with is high heart rate, for which I'm on medication. This has helped bring down the chest pain but not completely. Now, for the past month, I've had intense headaches and dizziness that make me feel like I might just collapse. Last night was particularly bad with the headache and chest pain. I'm really worried and not sure how to proceed. Could you advise on what might be causing this and what I should do next?

It sounds like you are experiencing a combination of chest pain, back pain, left arm pain, headaches, and dizziness. Since your cardiac tests have come back negative and you are already being treated for high heart beats, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. The chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve impingement. For your headache and dizziness, it may be helpful to explore the possibility of migraines or other neurological conditions. I recommend trying a medication like Acetaminophen for your headache and pain relief. For your ongoing chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine. Additionally, for your high heart beats, you can continue with the medication prescribed by your doctor. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss these new symptoms and explore further evaluation or treatment options.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been reading 150100 three times, and I've been taking Ozotel H as my doctor prescribed. I've been on the medication for the last three days, but I haven't seen any improvement in the readings yet. The doctor advised me to wait another two to three days, but I'm scared about the possibility of having to take medication for the rest of my life. I lead an active lifestyle, exercise daily, and there's no family history of high BP. I weigh 70 kg, am 5'7", and am 33 years old. Is there anything else I can do to lower my blood pressure?
It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure while taking antibiotics for your cold. Ozotel H is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Since your blood pressure readings have not decreased significantly after three days of taking Ozotel H, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to wait for another two to three days. In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications can also help in managing high blood pressure. Since you are already doing daily exercise, continue with your exercise routine as it can help lower blood pressure. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure readings do not improve or if you have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having these sharp chest pains, especially on the left side when I breathe heavily. Sometimes it comes with a really bad headache and neck pain, plus I'm getting breathless a lot. My throat feels sore too, and I just can't seem to relax or focus at work anymore. I get tired really fast and all my energy just drains away. I spoke to my family doctor, but he just said it's work stress and my eating habits causing gastric issues. I'm not sure that's all it is. Do you think there's something more going on that I should be looking into?
