Ive been noticing some pain in my chest that moves to my left arm and its paired with shortness of breath. It usually happens after Ive had an emotional setback and tends to go away on its own after a while. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. In your case, the pain may be triggered by emotional stress. I recommend you to take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dose is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists after taking the medication, please seek immediate medical attention.

View allI've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

I'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?
1. Instead of Propranolol 40 mg, you can use Nebivolol. The recommended dosage for Nebivolol is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It is also effective in managing heart palpitations and anxiety, with a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction compared to Propranolol. 2. You can take Tadalafil with Propranolol, but it is important to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider before combining these medications. Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and the combination with Propranolol may help alleviate the erection problem you are experiencing. The usual starting dose of Tadalafil is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity, with a maximum frequency of once per day.
