I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest whenever I do surya namaskaram and, for the past two days, I've been having frequent burping and indigestion. Sometimes when I breathe, there's this pain on the left side of my chest. A few months back, I had an ECG done, and the doctor said it was normal. I've been doing yoga for a month now, and I'm just wondering if this is something serious? How do you think it can be treated?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause chest tightness, frequent burping, indigestion, and chest pain. It is good that your ECG was normal, but it is still important to address your symptoms. You can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the indigestion and chest pain. Additionally, you can take medications like omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. It is also helpful to avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm getting these weird feelings where it seems like my heart is struggling to beat at times. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get these intense palpitations that eventually settle down, but it's really unsettling. Another thing I've noticed is that just when I'm about to burp, the palpitations get much stronger and faster, which honestly freaks me out a bit. Any idea what might be happening?
These symptoms could be related to acid reflux causing irritation of the esophagus, which in turn can trigger palpitations. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums (500mg) or Maalox (5ml) to help with the acid reflux. Additionally, you can try avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If the symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.
