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?

I think I might have angina because I'm experiencing chest pains. I also have high blood pressure and was born with a slight blockage. I'm just 18 and I'm not sure how to talk to my parents about this. Honestly, I'm scared to go to a hospital. If I manage to lower my blood pressure, do you think it'll help with these symptoms? This has been happening for the past two days and I'm pretty worried. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, especially given your history of high blood pressure and a slight blockage. Lowering your blood pressure may help alleviate some symptoms, but it is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take aspirin to help with chest pain. Please take one low-dose aspirin (81mg) and chew it to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Make sure to inform your parents about your symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.

I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

I had a little bike skid yesterday and it really scared me. I felt a bit of anxiety and had a little heart pain, but luckily no injuries. I went to see the doctor and they did an ECG to check for any problems. Is there anything else I should be worried about or any other steps I should take to make sure everything is okay?

It is good that you got your ECG checked by a doctor to rule out any problems. For anxiety and heart pain, you can take a medication like Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed for anxiety relief. For heart pain, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help with any inflammation or discomfort. Remember to follow up with your doctor if you have any persistent symptoms or concerns.
