I've been having this weird chest pain around my sternum and in the center of my back. It's been going on for a few days now and usually hits me with cold sweats and heat waves. I also get this sharp pain on the left side of my breast whenever I walk. I thought it might just be a hangover, but its been three days and it just seems... off. Should I be worried about this?

I'm experiencing some discomfort in my heart from time to time, and I recently had an ECG done, which came back with something called "borderline." I'm a bit worried and curious to know if there are any tablets or treatments for heart blockages that I should consider. Could you help explain what "borderline" means and if it's something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to heart blockages. In such cases, medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel can be prescribed to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Regarding your ECG showing borderline changes, this could indicate potential issues with the heart's electrical activity. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had a bit of a scare recently while doing the dishes. I accidentally cut my finger on a piece of glass. Initially, it seemed alright after rinsing it with water, but then things got weird. I started feeling short of breath, my head went all dizzy, and just as I grabbed a napkin for the wound, my vision went dark like I couldn't see anything. I almost collapsed but managed to lie down on my bed, and then it all just went away. Does this sound like a serious issue to you?

You may have experienced a vasovagal response, which can sometimes occur in response to pain or stress. However, given the symptoms you described, such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, and vision changes, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying issues. In the meantime, you can clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the wound covered with a sterile bandage and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge.

I've been feeling like someone is poking me with a pin or needle in my chest. It's not exactly painful, more like a sensation that's making me feel restless. It's been going on for about a week and seems to have gotten slightly worse. I'm a bit worried because visiting hospitals seems risky right now with all the COVID outbreaks. Do you have any idea what might be happening to me?
