Chest Pains, Popping Sound In Ears. Some Relief With Propranolol, Gylceryl Trinitrate. Tests Normal. Reason?

hi.... I am taking 80 mg of propranolol , and gylceryl trinitrate as when needed. my condition hasnt been diagnosed as of yet. My blood pressure is normal, as is my cholesterol . I have sustained pains in my chest , around my breast-bone area both when at rest and when active, and I have a popping sound in one ear when I stand. I have had the pains for around 3 months now, and the popping sound for around 10 days, since going onto these tablets and spray actually. The gylceryl trinitrate does indeed provide a short term relief. I have had ECGS and bloods taken, all came back clear. Whats wrong with me??? PLEASE......

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome...

     A thorough history and physical examination is the first step -
ECG (Electrocardiogram / EKG) – Routine 12-lead – is part of clinical examination.
      TMT – Treadmill exercise ECG; may be with thallium isotope – is often necessary to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease)
     ECHOcardiogram is necessary to see the heart valves (Mitral Valve Prolapse) / heart muscle (Cardiomyopathy) and heart function (Ejection fraction, wall motion abnormality) / clots...

Popping in ear needs to be evaluated by the ear (ENT) specialist...

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
