I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been having these sudden sharp pains in my left arm. There's also this weird sensation in my left chest area and sometimes my stomach hurts. Occasionally, I feel a bit short of breath. I'm not sure what's going on and I'm kinda worried about it. What do you think I should do?

It is important to seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Can someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?

While I can't view attachments, an abnormal ECG can indicate several potential issues, such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or abnormalities in the heart's structure. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendation to perform a TMT (treadmill test) as it will provide more information about how your mother's heart functions under physical stress. The prescribed medications are likely aimed at managing her condition in the meantime. Please ensure she follows her treatment plan and consults her healthcare provider if any new symptoms arise.
