I had an angioplasty about four years ago and got a stent put in. I'm still taking blood thinners. Is getting the COVID vaccine safe for me? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect my condition.

I'm 23 and have noticed a persistent dull pain under the second-to-last rib on the left side of my chest, about 23 inches below my left nipple. It's been happening for around 12 days now, mainly during deep breaths or when I try to stretch by pushing my chest out. I've never felt this pain before, and I'm starting to get worried because we do have a family history of high blood pressure and heart attacksmy grandfather and father, specifically. I've also been smoking tobacco for the last three years. Do you think this is something serious I should be worried about?

I've been experiencing this cramp on the right side of my chest whenever I yawn. Its really painful for a bit, almost unbearable, but then it fades away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and how I can prevent it. Also, is there anything I can do to lessen the pain quickly when it hits?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms or tension in the chest area, possibly due to deep or frequent yawning. To ease the pain quickly, try gently stretching or massaging the area. If it continues or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

She got an ECG done, and while the doctor said everything was normal and it's due to acidity, I'm still a bit concerned because the ECG mentioned something about right axis deviation. Is this something we should be worried about? Can you shed some light on this?
