I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing chest pain again. A few months ago, I had a TMT and it was negative, and my echo was normal. I don't have a history of any major diseases and I dont smoke or drink alcohol. But today, the pain came back, and I've been having some breathlessness because of my asthma. Could the asthma be causing this chest pain or should I be concerned about something else?

Given that your TMT and echo were normal three months ago, and you have a history of asthma, your chest pain and breathlessness might be related to asthma exacerbation rather than a cardiac issue. Asthma can cause chest tightness and breathlessness, especially during physical activity. It is important to manage your asthma effectively with your prescribed medications and follow your asthma action plan. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and ensure your asthma is well-controlled.

I've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?

Egg-cellent question! _Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?_ 1. _Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas_: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals. 2. _Protein and sulfur compounds_: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating. _Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option_ 1. _Easier to digest_: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down. 2. _Less gas production_: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently. _Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites_ 1. _Try digestive enzymes_: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas. 2. _Experiment with cooking methods_: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production. 3. _Reduce portion size_: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms. _Consult a Healthcare Professional_ If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been having some chest pain lately. She's also experiencing breathlessness, headaches at the back, and shoulder pain for the past few months. I'm wondering if this could be stress-related and what she can do to get some relief.

the symptoms of stress-induced chest pain can include breathlessness, headache, and shoulder pain. To help relieve these symptoms, your friend can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen for headache and muscle pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress levels. It is also important for your friend to address the underlying stressors causing the chest pain, possibly through therapy or counseling. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 28-year-old female, and in my recent blood test, my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level came back really high at 9.95. I'm worried because I know that's way above the normal range. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about?
