I've been feeling this slight pain on the right side of my chest, kind of close to the center, for about 45 days now. I also have some acidity issues. Should I be worried about this?

The pain in the center of your chest could be due to acid reflux causing heartburn. I recommend taking antacids like Tums (500mg) as needed for relief from acidity. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help manage your acidity problem. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further medical evaluation.

I'm trying to help my uncle who has angina and usually takes nicorandil, but he's now in the US. We're a bit worried about finding the right alternative medication here. Could you suggest what might work best for him in the States?

Question

I'm starting to feel my pulse all over my body and it's been like this for about two weeks. I notice it in different places like my feet when I'm lying down and sometimes in my thighs, arms, and even my wrists and fingers. I can actually count the pulse without touching it, like it's happening one spot at a time. Is this something I should be worried about or could it be something serious?

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing skipped heartbeats for about five months now. It often feels like there's a pause in my heartbeat, maybe for a second, but I'm not completely sure. I've never fainted or felt dizzy when this happens, but it does make me feel very anxious. I'm really worried about the possibility of a sudden cardiac arrest because of these skipped beats. Are these skipped heartbeats something I should be seriously worried about, even though my ECG, ECHO, and HOLTER tests all came back normal?
