I'm not sharing this to seek or give medical advice, but only because it is a huge deal, and puzzle, in my life, of possible use to others who have found themselves suffering at young ages from pain in the chest, intense headaches, neck pain, shortness of breath.
For a few years I had been suffering from intense, very distinguished migraines, along with stiff neck, and a type of chest pain upon breathing that was not heart related but an inflammation of the cartilage.
About a month ago I went to the ER because the pain was unbearable and the BP was "malignantly" high, and the doctor put me on a BP medication that stopped all my symptoms in their tracks: the migraines, the chest pain (trouble breathing), and stiff neck, and even trouble sleeping.
Just wanted to pass this on, because it was amazing to me.
I am still in a jam: I now know that a cheap drug for BP can relieve symptoms I could not abate, even though I was trying to get migraine medications for four hundred dollars for nine tablets. But I am out of that drug, which is expensive, and have no way of acquiring the more effective blood pressure blood which is so cheap. And I am underweight and a vociferous exerciser, non smoker, etc...
Just food for thought.
