I'm a bit worried about my wife. She's been having these severe chest pains on her left side early in the morning. It happened around 5 am today and before that, at 2 am. There's nothing else with it like radiating pain, jaw pain, trouble breathing, or sweating, but the pain is pretty intense. It usually happens once and then subsides. This has been going on for about 78 days now. Do you think it could be something serious or is it just a muscular thing?

View allI've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?
heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate; it's at 48. Is this normal, or could it indicate something potentially not good? Should I actually make an appointment with a doctor to get it checked out?
Resting heart is low, you need an ecg and cardiac markers.

I'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?
Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.
