Question

I'm experiencing this weird upper left chest pain that's been going on for the last three days, it seems to come back every few months or weeks. Thankfully it's stopped now, but I'm worried because now my left hand thumb's base has started hurting for two days. Could you help me figure out what's going on here? Why does this keep happening?

Question

Lately, Ive been noticing that every time I stand up or go for a walk, my heart starts racing to around 130bpm, and it doesnt calm down until I sit or lie down. My chest hurts, and my legs feel weak and shaky during these times too. I did have an iron deficiency last year, but it never made me feel like this, and even though it's still slightly low, my recent results show it's getting better. Ive had an ECG done, and that seemed fine, so I'm wondering if I should be seeing a cardiologist. Could this be something serious?

Question

I've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?

How do I stop getting dizzy when I stand up?
