I'm experiencing this mild pain that sort of comes and goes in random parts of my chest. It's like someone's pressing down on it. Sometimes it's on the right side, other times on the left, and occasionally in the center. Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing random chest pains. This could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, anxiety, or even digestive issues. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned because my ECG results came back as abnormal and it's showing PVC. Is this something I should be worried about? Would appreciate your insight on this.
PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). In most cases, PVCs are harmless and don't require treatment. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have underlying heart conditions, further evaluation may be needed. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help reduce PVCs if necessary. Dosage can vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dose.

I'm a bit worried because my doctor mentioned that I have an irregular heartbeat. Is this something normal or should I be concerned about it? Can you tell me if this might cause any problems?
An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, can be normal and harmless in some cases, but it can also indicate an underlying condition, such as atrial fibrillation, heart valve problems, or electrolyte imbalances; consult your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, as some arrhythmias can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, or other complications.
