Question

I'm really worried because I've been having this right-sided chest pain in the upper part for the last few days. It's been getting worse after I eat, and once in a while, I even feel it in my arms. Do you think this could be a heart-related issue, or could it be something else?

Question

I've been having some chest pain for the last few days and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable and along with the chest pain, I get this ache in my arm joint or at the back of my neck, and it's just getting worse at times. The pain tends to last for a few hours. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

Question

I've been dealing with chest tightness and pain for a few months now and even after visiting a cardiologist who did an echo, ECG, blood test, and chest X-ray, they said my heart is fine but mentioned that my cholesterol is a little high and prescribed some cholesterol tablets. Can you suggest any home remedies that might help with the chest tightness and pain? I'm really curious about other ways to manage this.
