  5. I'm 23 and don't have any bad habits like alcohol or smoking, but because of my IT job, I'm sitting in front of a laptop a lot. I do eat fast food occasionally. Recently, I've felt a needle-like pain in my right upper chest that only lasts a second, and it has me worried about my heart health. I stress over various things, and I noticed my pulse is usually between 92-100 bpm. This morning it was 97 bpm. Im just wondering if my lack of physical activity might be affecting my heart.

It's important to address your concerns. The needle-like pain sensation in your right upper chest, occurring briefly, could be related to musculoskeletal issues or even gastric problems. Given your sedentary lifestyle and stress levels, it's advisable to incorporate some physical activity into your routine. To help with your gastric issues, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, for your heart health and to manage stress, you can consider taking Propranolol 20mg twice daily. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
