Since the past two days have been having some weird pressure and deep burning ache in my neck and jaw- I was also having occasional chest pressure, but I knew it was due to GERD but this neck n jaw issue is new I consulted my regular cardiologist, who did ECG, echo and some blood test, which were completely normal - I also have a history of a normal invasivea angiogram done a year ago He gave me medicines for GRD and dysphasia mentioning that GERD issues can present in several atypical ways But my mind remains fixed on cardiac side - since all the investigations have been done, I don't know if I should go for any other test

In Feb'26 I got stressed out and became very anxious. I was put on Concor 2.5mg. All test 2D Echo and ECG were done and normal. Then at the same time I developed a UTI infection and after I got better I was put on Concor 5T as in the doctor office my BP went 150/100 whereas at home it has been 115-145/72-86 in that range, Now my BP is always between 110-118/62-76. I have been taking Concor 5T since a month now. Can I reduce and completely stop the medication as I never had BP before in my life, only during the time of my anxiousness it went up and only whenever my BP is checked at a doctor's place it goes up with the fear.

I feel tingling and twitching in the veins/nerves of my left arm, neck, shoulder, back, and sometimes my cheek and eyebrow. 4. When I wake up after lying down, it feels like something is moving from the veins in my shoulder toward my chest, like a worm running through the veins. Whar is this? Can you please tell and give some advise?,
