Question

I'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?

Question

I've been experiencing a strange fluttering feeling just under my left breast since last night. I'm not sure if it's just gas or if I'm having heart palpitations, but it's really uncomfortable and kept me from sleeping well. Theres no pain, and my smart band shows my heart rate is 83 with a SPO2 of 96. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been experiencing some twitching in my left arm for the past week or two, and on top of that, there's this uncomfortable feeling in my left chest area. It's like a slight catch. Could these symptoms be related? Should I be worried or is there something specific I should be looking out for?
