I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing this chest pain in the lower zones on both sides for about 8 months now. I got an X-ray done, and I have the report. There haven't been any other symptoms like fever, cough, or breathing problems, but I'm still worried. What could this be and what should I do next?

View allI'm a 24-year-old woman with a weight of 37kg, and my heartbeat is constantly around 134bpm, even when I'm resting. For the last 5 years, my heart rate usually stays in the range of 120 to 130. I dont have any other health issues and havent felt any discomfort, but I'm worried this might be dangerous. Do I need surgery, or can this be treated with medicines? Does homeopathy have any solutions? I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Can you help me figure this out?
Your heart rate of 134bpm is slightly elevated, but since you have been experiencing heart rates in the range of 120 to 130 bpm at rest for the past 5 years without any other symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Surgery is not typically needed for a slightly elevated heart rate. Medications can be used to help control heart rate if necessary. In your case, a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower your heart rate and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to be taken once daily. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

I'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.
