I'm feeling this heaviness on the left side of my chest and it's getting hard to breathe deeply. I've also got pain shooting down my left arm and into the upper left part of my back. I've already gone through tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, plus a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm really not sure what my next steps should be. Any idea what could be going on?

Despite normal ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-ray reports, your persistent symptoms of heaviness in the left side of the chest, shortness of breath, left arm pain, and upper back pain warrant further evaluation; consider consulting a cardiologist

View allI've been feeling this sharp pain on the left side of my chest, and it's got me worried. It seems to flare up whenever I climb stairs or if I try to sleep on my left side. Does this sound like anything serious? Should I be concerned about it, or is there something specific I should be doing to manage it?
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or even a cardiac issue. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. I recommend you to take an immediate ECG test and consult a cardiologist. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief.

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took Prolomet R 50 for the second time tonight. Should I also be taking Ecosprin to counteract any potential effects or just wait it out? I'm not sure what to do next.
Taking an extra dose of Prolomet R 50 (Metoprolol) can lead to low blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. As for taking Ecosprin (Aspirin) along with Prolomet R 50, it is generally safe to take them together as prescribed by your doctor. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?
It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking **Propranolol 10mg** for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.
