I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

View allWhat does left ventricle preponderance mean? My dad got diagnosed with it and sometimes he experiences blackouts and shortness of breath, plus his blood pressure drops really low. Could all these be connected? What should we be doing about it?
Left Ventricular Preponderance might be an indication of structural changes or function issues in the heart. It could be associated with other heart conditions that affect the efficiency of the left ventricle. The symptoms your father is experiencing, including blackouts, shortness of breath, and low blood pressure, warrant further evaluation and management by a cardiologist. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help in managing his condition and preventing complications.

I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper chest for the last few days, and it's starting to concern me a bit. Sometimes the pain even travels from my upper shoulder to my back shoulder. I can't help but wonder what could be causing this. Are there specific tests or checks I should be considering to figure out what's going on?
I would recommend you to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, a chest X-ray to look for any abnormalities in the chest area, and possibly an upper endoscopy to examine the esophagus and stomach for any signs of acid reflux or inflammation. Additionally, blood tests may be done to check for any markers of heart damage or inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.
