I've been having pain on the left side of my rib cage for about a week and just today I noticed there's an indent there. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will heal on its own? It's kind of freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.

I've had a fever since early this morning, and it's coming down a bit. But my heart rate is staying pretty high, around 110-130 BPM. Is this usual when you have a fever, or should I be more worried about this heart rate change? I'm feeling really anxious about it. My apple watch even gave me a high heart rate alert while I was resting this evening. What should I do?

Normal, if still heart rate persists more than 100 beats per minute after fever subsides u may require an ecg and cardiac markers .

I've been feeling like my body has a heat problem recently and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can someone give me some advice or suggestions on how to manage this?

My body has heat problem. To reduce body heat, you can try taking Tab. Paracetamol 500mg twice a day after meals. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, wear loose and breathable clothing, and avoid spicy and oily foods. Additionally, you can try applying a cool compress to your forehead and neck to help lower your body temperature.
