These symptoms could be indicative of a variety of conditions, including anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, or even a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen and try to relax in a comfortable position.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed a short PR interval of 109. I'm not experiencing any symptoms right now, but Im worried if this could lead to any future health problems. Should I be worried about this?

Short PR interval on ECG can be a sign of an abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. This can sometimes lead to a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which may increase the risk of certain heart rhythm problems. Since you have no symptoms currently, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. In case of any symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, you should consult a cardiologist. However, for now, no specific treatment is needed.

I've been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, right around my heart, and I'm also having a lot of burping, indigestion, and gas issues. I'm trying to figure out if this is something to do with my heart or maybe it's just my stomach acting up. What kind of doctor should I see for this?
