I've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

I've been having this pain in my left chest, and sometimes it even spreads to my hand. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. What do you think I should do about it? Should I be concerned?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as pain in the left chest and pain in your hand, could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

Does walking lower blood pressure immediately?

No walking do not lower blood pressure immediately in minutes but a regular habit of at least 20 minutes of brisk or moderate walking for 5 days in a week helps in controlling it gradually. Exercise lowers blood pressure by reducing blood vessel stiffness so blood can flow more easily
