I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?

From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .
