I'm a 28-year-old male and I've noticed that for the past 6 months, my resting heart rate has consistently been over 100, sometimes getting up to 120. I'm really wondering if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Is this something I need to get checked out?

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.

I've been having this quick, sharp pain on the left side of my chest whenever I put pressure on my left hand or lift something heavy. It's really strange because the pain just pops up out of nowhere, lasts only a few seconds, and then it's gone. Its been happening now and then for about 4 or 5 months, but it seems to be more frequent lately. Any idea what could be causing this? What should I do about it?
This type of chest pain that is triggered by certain movements or activities could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as costochondritis. It is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help relieve the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed with food. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also provide some relief. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
