My arm and chest sometimes start to hurt at random times. Sometimes it's just my chest, sometimes just my arm, and other times both, with this throbbing sensation that can last for a couple of hours. What could be causing this? It's really worrying me.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain can sometimes radiate to the arm, neck, jaw, or back. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as needed, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been using meth for 18 years and I'm about to get a pacemaker. I'm really worried about whether I can continue using meth after I have the pacemaker implanted. What are my chances of living a normal life, and what are the worst complications I could face?
Continuing meth use after getting a pacemaker is dangerous and can increase the risk of severe heart complications, including heart failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The best course of action is to quit using meth, work with your healthcare provider, and focus on rehabilitation and healthy lifestyle changes to support your heart health.

I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?
