I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?

View allI'm wondering about continuing with corbis bisoprolol 5 mg, which I've been taking for a decade now. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is hanging around 60. I'm aware that bisoprolol can lower heart rate, and even though I'm not experiencing any issues, I'm curious whether I should consult a doctor about switching medications because of the lower pulse rate. How long is it generally okay to stay on corbis if I'm not having any problems?

I stopped smoking about a month and a half ago, and ever since, I've been getting this weird feeling on the left side of my chest sometimes. There's occasionally some pain that only lasts for a few minutes. Plus, I notice I sometimes get short of breath and start sweating. I've found that burping can sometimes relieve the discomfort, but not always. Once in a while, the pain starts in my back between my shoulder blades or in my lower back. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about? What might be going on here?

I'm a 45-year-old guy and lately, I've been feeling these weird, increased palpitations and some breathlessness. A buddy of mine had these same symptoms and it turned out to be mitral valve prolapse. Can you tell me what symptoms come with mitral valve prolapse? I'm trying to figure out if that's what I might be dealing with.
Increased palpitations and breathlessness can be symptoms of mitral valve prolapse. Other symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, and a feeling of fluttering in the chest. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
