I've been experiencing some chest tightness on and off for the past 1.5 years. It'll usually happen and last for about 2 minutes, making it hard to breathe or move my upper body. Recently, I woke up in the middle of the night to get some water and felt the same tightness with a slight pain in my chest and heart. I went to a cardiologist and had an ECG and a 2D echo test, but they both came back normal. The doctor advised me to rest, and I did, but the chest tightness keeps happening. Why is this still going on? Could there be another cause, and should I see someone else for this? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

Any acute effects of tea on blood pressure did not translate into significant alterations in ambulatory blood pressure during regular tea consumption.

I've been smoking for the last 5 years, and lately, Im noticing this weird pain in the center of my chest. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or standing still, but if I stretch my arms or put any pressure on my chest, I get this sharp pinching feeling inside. Even just warming up before a workout or sleeping in one position can trigger it. There's no fatigue, coughing up blood, or anxiety. Do you think it's something serious, or should I just not worry about it too much?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing some weird fluctuations in my heart rate. Out of nowhere, it sometimes shoots up to 90-110. Heres what Ive tracked: when Im sleeping, it varies between 65-80, and when Im resting, it's around 70-90. But it gets to 90-110 when Im stressed. Climbing up to my apartment on the 3rd floor gets it to 110-120, a 5-minute walk pushes it to 100, and a 30-minute walk averages at 140 according to my smartwatch. After an hour walk, my watch shows an average of 165. And when I skip for just 5 minutes, my heart rate jumps to 140. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Ive stopped exercising because it seems like my heart rate goes up too much. I'm 32, by the way.
Based on the information you provided, your heart rate seems to be fluctuating quite a bit. It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activity, stress, or even when climbing stairs. However, consistently high heart rates during rest or sleep could indicate an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to incorporate moderate-intensity exercises like brisk walking or swimming into your routine and monitor your heart rate closely. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, please seek immediate medical attention
