I've been having this pricking pain in my chest that isn't super intense, but it crops up when I'm on the treadmill or climbing stairs. I'm in my mid-20s and last week I saw a doctor about some chest discomfort. They thought it was acid reflux. What could be causing this? I also felt some pressure in my neck and shoulders that went away after a few minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Should I be worried?

I'm 24 and recently found out I have sinus tachycardia and Grade 1 MVP. My Holter monitor showed a few ectopics, and I've been having anxiety that pushes my heart rate to around 130 bpm when I go out. My doctor suggested taking INDERAL 10 twice a day, but I'm worried. I've heard that once you start on beta blockers, you can't stop them. Is that true? Should I really begin this medication?

Inderal (propranolol) can be an effective treatment for managing your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. However, it is essential to work closely with your doctor to ensure the medication is appropriately adjusted for your need
