I've been feeling these twitching sensations in my chest for about 11.5 months now. It's like a really minor shock or spasm right in the center but a bit below my chest, and they last for less than a second. It used to happen less often, but in the last few days, it's been like 5 or 6 times a day, if not more. I've never felt anything like this before. I should probably mention I smoke, but not too heavily, and I've decided to quit after feeling these twitches. I used to go to the gym regularly before I quit a month ago, and I don't think I had this issue when I was lifting weights. I've also noticed that these twitches happen more if I haven't eaten or slept for a while, though that might just be a coincidence. It's stressing me out and making me really uncomfortable. Any ideas on what could be causing this or what I should do?

I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?
Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm 77 years old and I've noticed my pulse rate has jumped to 142. It was 139 just an hour ago. Is this something I should be worried about?
This is not a normal pulse rate and requires immediate medical attention. A heart rate of 139-142 is significantly elevated for any age, but especially concerning for someone who is 77 years old. This condition, called tachycardia, can be dangerous and might indicate a serious underlying condition. Please seek emergency medical care right away - either call for an ambulance or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm, sit or lie down, and avoid any physical activity.
