I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I'm experiencing a really weird feeling in my chest that sometimes eases up when I take a deep breath. My heart rate speeds up occasionally too. I did a spirometry test, which showed normal results with my fev1fvc at 98.8, and my oximeter reading is at 98. I quit smoking about 2 months ago, but I still have some burping issues from gastric problems. It's got me worried, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be happening?

My sister's pulse rate is around 120, and she's feeling dizzy. Is this cause for concern? Should we see a doctor, or could this be something normal?

A high pulse rate of 120, especially when accompanied by dizziness, should not be ignored. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg to help lower her heart rate. Make sure she rests and stays hydrated.
