I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

My mom's blood pressure was 130200 even though she's been taking her Zilarata medication. One doctor gave her half a medication, and then she relaxed, and her BP went down to 100145. But now it's at 120180. Do you think it's okay if I give her a BP win tablet?

I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and they make me feel really uncomfortable and short of breath. I've also been feeling pretty tired lately. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried about this?

Heart palpitations causing discomfort and breathlessness along with fatigue can be due to various reasons. It could be related to underlying heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart valve disorders, or heart failure. Other possible causes include thyroid disorders, anxiety or panic attacks, anemia, or even certain medications. To address the symptoms, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. I recommend you consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

I've been using my Fitbit for a few weeks and noticed my heart rate usually tops out at 120 BPM. But today, while just walking, it spiked to 162 BPM in the afternoon. What might be causing this? Is this something I should be worried about?

Probable diagnosis is ventricular fibrillation. Advised an ecg,cardiac markers and echo for evaluation..
