I've been feeling some heaviness in my chest, not so much pain but more like there's something pressed against it. It's also affecting my sleep. My left shoulder and fingers feel a bit numb too, but it's more discomfort than pain. I used to smoke occasionally, like one or two cigarettes every few months, and I drink less than three days a month. All these chest discomforts have been around for about two years now. I saw a doctor back then and they said everything was fine, but it got worse with numbness and lightheadedness, and they said I had spondylosis. I've also had a shoulder injury since 2009, which I didn't really take care of. I'm trying to figure out if this is heart-related, gastric problems, or something due to my shoulder injury. It's really starting to affect me a lot. What could be causing these issues?

View allI'm currently dealing with a blood pressure reading of 10871, which seems pretty normal. I usually take Telpres CT 4012.5 for my high blood pressure and Etizola Beta to manage my anxiety issues. With my blood pressure being in the normal range right now, I'm wondering if I should keep taking my blood pressure meds or if it's safe to stop them?
Your blood pressure is currently within the normal range. It is important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure is normal at the moment. Stopping medication abruptly can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. However, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication based on your current blood pressure readings. For now, continue taking Telpres CT 4012.5 for your blood pressure.

I'm experiencing this buzzing sensation on the left side of my chest that comes and goes quickly. It's been happening since yesterday. I know I might be anemic, but could this be because my hemoglobin levels are low?
The intermittent buzzing sensation in your left chest area could be related to various factors, including anxiety, stress, or cardiac issues, but it's unlikely directly caused by low hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to anemia; however, anemia can lead to heart palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG, to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
