I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?

I've noticed lately that my heart starts pounding really hard, like when I get up from sitting down. Also, I've been dealing with some acidity and constipation issues. My doctor prescribed me rabeprazole, but my ECG showed a heart rate of 112, which seems quite high. Could you help me figure out what's going on with this high heart rate?

I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?
