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 really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm really concerned about my heart rate because it's usually around 100 or more whether I'm just sitting, walking, or doing anything else. I've been using my Fitbit to track it, and I also have an Omron BP machine at home that often shows it going over 100, sometimes even hitting 120. I did see a cardiologist who said it was nothing, but I'm still worried. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or if there's anything I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent tachycardia. One common medication used to help lower heart rate is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting Metoprolol at a low dose, such as 25mg once daily, and then adjusting the dose as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while on this medication.

I'm a 25-year-old female and I've been having some chest discomfort along with feeling breathless. I'm also experiencing chills and sweating. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?
These symptoms could be indicative of a variety of conditions, including anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, or even a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen and try to relax in a comfortable position.
