I'm currently on metolar, and I've been wondering if it's okay to have garlic on an empty stomach in the morning. Could it affect the medicine or my health in any way?

Better not to take on empty stomach as it might cause gastritis

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain whenever I walk or exert myself. I had a TMT test done, and it was negative. They tried doing a PFT test, but it couldn't be performed. My X-ray came back normal, and the 2D echo showed 60. What could be causing these chest pains despite all these tests being normal? I'm really concerned about what might be happening.

I've noticed my SPO2 levels usually range from 96 to 98, but sometimes they drop to 90 before going back up to 96. I'm not sure which reading I should pay attention to. Also, my BPM is consistently over 100. Meanwhile, my mom, who's 51, has a normal BPM between 72 and 80. I'm worried if these symptoms could be related to any heart or lung issues, especially since I haven't had COVID. Could you give me some advice on this?

Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?
