I woke up this morning and suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy, but it only lasted for about 5 minutes. Could you help me understand what might have caused this?

Sudden sweating and dizziness upon waking, lasting only 5 minutes, could be due to various factors, including a temporary drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar, anxiety or panic attack, dehydration, or even a minor vasovagal episode, but if such episodes recur or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.

Question

I've been experiencing some chest pain in the center of my chest after I eat. It's been happening for the past couple of days, and the pain comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes, the pain is in my heart and left chest, and it's really bothering me. I also feel it a lot in the right chest, in the middle of the two chests. I can't easily visit a clinic because it's far away and with corona, I'm trying to stay safe. Is there any medicine you can suggest that I can get from a medical shop nearby? I'm really worried and would appreciate your help.

Question

I'm noticing that my heart starts racing whenever I eat, drink water, or even when I pass urine. It almost feels like I'm anxious all the time. I also have issues with gas and cervical spondylitis. Could these conditions be related to my increased heart rate?

Question

Hey, I've been dealing with this pricking sensation on just the left side of my chest for the past year. It's more like a dull, mild sensation rather than outright pain, and it disappears within seconds. I've already done an ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood tests, and everything came back normal. Do you think I need any more tests to check my heart? Should I be worried about any heart issues even if my tests didn't show anything concerning? Also, what could be causing this pricking feeling in my left chest? Would appreciate your advice.
