I've been experiencing some mild chest pain for about a month now. There hasn't been any coughing, fever, or cold symptoms, but the pain is located near my left breast. Occasionally, I also feel pain in my left arm and shoulders. Sometimes I struggle to breathe normally, and it often feels like something's stuck in my throat. What's going on with me?

View allI'm really struggling and could use some advice. Ive been feeling exhausted for the past three years and I'm dealing with severe shortness of breath. My mornings start with a really bad headache, and my resting heart rate is consistently high, hovering around 100 to 110, and it shoots up to 180 to 200 just by climbing a single flight of stairs. My weight is normal, so Im confused about what might be causing this. I used to be pre-hypertensive with a blood pressure of 137 over 91, and then I was on Inderal la 20 in July and August of last year. Now, my BP usually sits in the 95 over 83 or 100 over 85 range when I'm resting, which makes me wonder why my pulse pressure is so low. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis in January, and Ive been taking mondeslor for the past two months, but Im not seeing any improvement. Ive done a pulmonary function test, ECG, and echo, and they all came back normal. I don't have anxiety issues and generally, I'm a calm person. It's all pretty frustrating, and its impacting my everyday life. What could be going on?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, headaches, and low pulse pressure despite being on Inderal LA 20 for hypertension. Since your PFT, ECG, and echo results are normal, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. Given your history of allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to an underlying respiratory issue. Considering your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of trying a different medication for your allergic conditions. You may benefit from a nasal corticosteroid spray such as Flonase (fluticasone) for allergic rhinitis and an inhaled corticosteroid like Qvar (beclomethasone) for allergic bronchitis. These medications can help reduce inflammation in your airways and improve your breathing. In addition, since you are experiencing persistent headaches, your doctor may consider prescribing a medication like Propranolol (Inderal) at a higher dose to help with both your headaches and high heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Overall, it is important to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and find an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm experiencing this sharp, pin-like pain in my chest and back. It was really bad in January, but now it's not as intense, just feels like pins. I had my ECG done and everything came back normal. Can you tell me what precautions I should take?
Given your symptoms of pin-like pain in the chest and back, and a normal ECG, consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out conditions like pericarditis, costochondritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); in the meantime, avoid heavy lifting, maintain a healthy weight, manage stress, and avoid triggers like spicy or fatty foods that can exacerbate symptoms.
