I've been experiencing a sudden heaviness in my chest lately, and it's making me feel like I need to take deeper breaths sometimes. I also have a slight burning sensation in my stomach. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

View allI'm a 36-year-old unmarried woman with a slim build and usually pretty active, but lately due to lockdown, Ive been sitting and working a lot. Today, I decided to do some cleaning, like mopping and sweeping, and afterwards, I started having really strong palpitations and felt restless, especially around my neck where the carotid artery is. I'm still experiencing palpitations with any physical work and feel a bit breathless because of them. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, but after looking it up online, Im worried it might be a heart attack. My citys still in lockdown, so I cant visit a doctor, and I'm scared something serious is going on. Can you advise on what might be happening and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and restlessness after doing physical work. These symptoms can be concerning, but it is important not to jump to conclusions like a heart attack without proper evaluation. It is possible that the increased physical activity after a period of inactivity is causing these symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a rest and lying down in a comfortable position. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any stimulants like caffeine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you can take a tablet of propranolol 10mg for palpitations. However, if you continue to feel unwell or if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. I would recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and if they continue or worsen, please seek medical help as soon as possible

I'm experiencing this really bad chest pain in the upper part, and sometimes it gets quite severe. I tried using Eno, but it didn't help at all. Do you think I should consult a doctor about this?

I'm really worried because my tests showed I have a 22mm ASD and a Right bundle branch block. The doctors are recommending surgery, and I'm not sure how risky that is. Is the operation absolutely necessary? If it is, can you suggest where might be the best place for this surgery, and any idea how much it might cost?
