I've been dealing with this chest weakness for the past three days, but I dont have any fever, cough, or cold. I'm starting to worry because I've heard that chest weakness can be a symptom of COVID-19. Should I go and get a test?

It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms. Chest weakness can have various causes, and while COVID-19 often presents with fever, cough, or cold symptoms, it can sometimes show atypical signs.

Key points to consider:

  1. Symptom monitoring: Keep track of any new symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
  2. Risk factors: Consider any recent exposure to COVID-19 or high-risk environments.
  3. Testing: If you have had potential exposure or if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop, getting a COVID-19 test is advisable.
  4. Medical evaluation: Since chest weakness can be related to other health issues, if the symptom persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

In summary, while your current symptoms alone may not strongly suggest COVID-19, testing can be a prudent step if you have exposure risks or if symptoms change. Meanwhile, monitor your health closely and seek medical advice if needed.

I've been dealing with this chest pain and burping for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly getting a bit worried. I've tried taking 45mg of aspirin, but it's not helping at all. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?

I'm a bit concerned after getting my Holter test results back. It says I had 17 ventricular beats in tachycardia at 100 bpm and no bradycardia, with a sinus tachycardia peaking at 162 bpm just once. The doctors mentioned this might be normal for someone who drinks and smokes, and they advised me to quit both. The test was done because of an irregular pulse. Could you help me understand what all this means and how serious it is?

The holter test report indicates ventricular beats at 17%, beats in tachycardia (>=100 bpm) at 15%, and no bradycardia. Sinus tachycardia was noted at 162 bpm (maximum only once). It is advisable to quit alcohol and smoking, as advised by your doctors. The irregular pulse may be related to these habits. To help with the irregular pulse, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the occurrence of irregular beats. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your progress.
