Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

No ,sleeping on your left side, specifically, could help the flow of blood to your heart. When your heart pumps blood out to your body, it getsside.culated and then flows back to your heart on the right side

I'm 25 and recently had a pre-employment medical check-up where they did an ECG. The person doing the test said it was abnormal, but after doing it again, they mentioned it's not a big deal. I've never had any health issues or needed to see a doctor before, so I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is this something I should be worried about?

Having an abnormal ECG at a young age like 25 can be concerning, but it doesn't always indicate a serious problem. It's important to follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of any potential cardiovascular issues.

I've been feeling this annoying itchy sensation at the bottom of my heart, kind of towards the back, and it's been bugging me. I'm also always hungry and feeling this slight heartburn, which just adds to the discomfort. It's weird because I can't seem to breathe as deeply as I usually do. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?
