It is 1:30 in the morning Melbourne time and I just had to get out of bed to stand because lying down is causing a massive left neck side atrocious pinch which is unbearable. Standing alleviates it. I took my prescribed medication, I feel drowsy, breathless but can't bear the tightness and incredible pain that shoots down my left side to the groin and foot.

I told my doctors multiple times that I can't manage the left side but they keep telling me to take the meds which are not working. My blood pressure is anything from 160 to 170 over 105-107.

The doctors don't believe that there is a structural change but my symptoms have increased 2 fold.

I am clueless as what to do next. This has been happening for several weeks and it is making things very hard for me. I can't even meditate due to the severity of the pain.
