I've noticed that every time I sneeze, I feel this really sharp pain in my chest, and it even spreads into my arms. It's super painful but only lasts for about 15 seconds. Is this something I should be worried about?

View allI've been having these chest pains that come and gosometimes they're just a few seconds, other times they last for a few hours. It's mostly around the left side of my chest, but I don't have any trouble breathing, even after running, and there's no pain spreading to my neck or shoulder. I've been trying Pantoprazole for a while, but it hasn't really helped. What could be going on? Any advice would be appreciated.
"Chest pain on the left side that lasts for a few seconds to a few hours and no breathing issues after running could be due to musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, or even heart-related issues. Since Pantoprazole has not been effective, I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 5mg to 10mg three times a day. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management."

I've been having a fast heart rate between 100 and 120 over the last few days. I'm using a brown inhaler for my asthma and an over-the-counter decongestant because of nasal polyps. Could these meds be causing it? If I stop taking them, how long might it take for my heart rate to go back to normal?
Both your asthma inhaler medication and the over-the-counter decongestant can contribute to an increased heart rate. The bronchodilator medication in your inhaler can cause a temporary increase in heart rate as a side effect. Similarly, decongestants can also stimulate the heart and lead to a faster heart rate. If you stop taking these medications, your heart rate should return to normal within a few hours to a few days, depending on how long you have been taking them and your body's response. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm trying to make sense of my recent test results and I'm a bit worried. It mentioned "borderline t abnormalities" and "inferior leads," with something about "tSt elevation" possibly being part of a normal repolarization pattern. I'm diabetic, and these terms have me a little on edge. Could you shed some light on what all this means and if it's something I should be concerned about?
diagnosis is inferior wall myocardial infarction, immediate cardiologist intervention is required.
