I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG and chest X-ray both came out normal, but I still occasionally get this mild chest pain that feels like it's moving around. It's not severe, but it's enough to concern me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

"Since your ECG report and CHEST PA view report are normal, the moving chest pain you are experiencing may be due to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may help alleviate any anxiety-related chest discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation."

I've been having this mild chest pain on my left side and sometimes feel pain in my hand too, along with back pain. It's been going on for a while and I've already done two ECGs in the past couple of months; both came back normal. My family doctor thinks it might be because I sit for long hours as an IT professional, but the pain hasn't really gone away. Sometimes my chest still hurts a bit on the left side. What should I do about this?

Based on your symptoms and normal ECG reports, it is possible that your chest pain, left hand pain, and back pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues due to prolonged sitting in front of a laptop. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try the following: 1. Take breaks and stretch regularly while working on your laptop. 2. Maintain a good posture while sitting. 3. Use ergonomic equipment such as a supportive chair and keyboard. 4. Consider physical therapy or exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. 5. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help with mild pain. 6. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, focus on improving your posture and taking regular breaks to prevent strain on your muscles and joints.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?

Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm experiencing some chest pain right in the center, and it's been going on for about 3 days now. I'm having a tough time breathing when I move or lie down, especially on my left side, but it's not as bad when I sit or lie on my back. I'm also feeling kind of gassy in my stomach and it's making me really confused. I've tried taking 3 ranitidine pills already, but there's still no improvement. Could this be something serious? Can you help figure out what's going on?
