I've been experiencing chest pain and headaches lately. I got an ECG done, and it came back normal, but I still don't feel right. I'm having trouble eating and walking properly too. Recently, I had milk and curd together, and I'm wondering if that could be causing these issues. Could you suggest any remedies or possible causes?
