Peanut butter has fiber and proteins which are healthy and few studies showed that it can reduce mean diastolic blood pressure. And as long as they don't contain hydrogenated fat, nut butters including peanut butter won't cause problems for your cholesterol levels too.

Question

I've been feeling this weird sensation like my heart or something inside is vibrating. It's mostly in my chest and around that area. What could this mean? Should I be worried?

I'm a bit concerned because when I place my hand on my chest, I can't feel my heartbeat. However, I can easily feel my pulse in the veins of my hand when I'm sitting quietly. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Question

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain for about a month now. There hasn't been any coughing, fever, or cold symptoms, but the pain is located near my left breast. Occasionally, I also feel pain in my left arm and shoulders. Sometimes I struggle to breathe normally, and it often feels like something's stuck in my throat. What's going on with me?
