I'm feeling really worried because I've been having this sharp, burning chest pain for about a week now. It seems to get a bit better when I change positions or drink water, but it's really bothering me. The pain is right where my heart is. Do you think this could be something serious, or is it something I can manage on my own? What might be causing this?

Every time I get an ECG, it shows sinus tachycardia. I dont have any known heart issues, but my heart always beats faster than normal. Should I be worried about this?

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. In most cases, it is not a cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing persistent symptoms or have underlying heart conditions, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and practicing relaxation techniques.
