I am a 62-year-old male experiencing intermittent tightness in the jaw and chest. I have not had a check-up in three years, have a family history of high blood pressure, and am currently not on any medications. The pain doesn't last long, typically 5 to 10 minutes. What could be the cause of this pain, and what should I do?

I suffer from panic disorder, which is well managed with medication and therapy. I recently had an endoscopy with biopsy under propofol sedation and am now experiencing episodes of hot flashes, nausea, increased heart rate, and a general feeling of not being well. I want to know the potential side effects or complications from the sedation/procedure and how long they can last versus this being a flare-up of my anxiety. Additionally, I take Klonopin 0.25 mg three times a day and Zoloft 100 mg daily for my panic disorder. What could be causing these symptoms and how long should I expect them to last?

I’m a 38-year-old male, 6’3”, 285lbs, ex-smoker, leading an active life. I have been experiencing pain in my upper left chest, left shoulder, and left upper back for 3 days. The pain seems to move around and is not in the center of my chest. It feels like a soreness but cannot be recreated by pressing on it. I have no shortness of breath or nausea, and I haven’t lifted anything heavy or caused any injury. I’ve had a full cardiac workup in the last 8 months, including a nuclear stress test, EKG, ECG, 48-hour Holter monitor, cardiac ultrasound, and chest X-rays, all of which showed only frequent benign PVCs. I’m concerned about a cardiac issue despite the test results. What could be causing this pain?
