I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my chest, kind of like a needle prick. I got an ECG done, and it was normal, which is a relief, but my doctor put me on Provonal Forte. I'm just wondering, could this be some kind of chest infection or maybe anxiety acting up?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to anxiety or nerve-related issues. Provanol forte tablet is likely prescribed to help with chest discomfort and anxiety symptoms. However, if you are still feeling needle pricking sensations in your chest, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol for pain relief as needed.

I'm 23 and every morning when I wake up, I feel this weird pain on the left side of my chest, right above my breast. It usually goes away after about 5 to 10 minutes. Should I be worried about this?
The intermittent morning chest pain on your left side, resolving within 5-10 minutes, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to breastbone) or pectoral muscle strain; however, given your age and symptom location, other possible causes, including cardiac conditions, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety, should be explored

I've been noticing that I can hear my heartbeat pretty clearly while I'm sleeping, especially in a sitting position. Sometimes it even feels like my heart is lifting or something, and it's a bit worrying. I don't have any issues with sugar or blood pressure, but my heart rate is around 100 bpm. Should I be concerned about this for my future health? What do you think?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations, which can be concerning. I recommend you to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further management.
