I'm 21 years old and feeling pretty weak. My weight's only 47 kg, and I'm experiencing chest pain whenever I do any heavy work. I also have heart palpitations, feel weak, and yawn a lot. I've attached my x-ray reportcould you take a look and let me know what's going on?
Based on your symptoms of chest pain, heart palpitations, weakness, and excessive yawning, along with your low weight, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues or anemia. Since you have provided an x-ray report, it would be best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For chest pain and heart palpitations, you can take **Metoprolol** 25mg twice daily to help with the symptoms. Additionally, if anemia is confirmed, you can take **Ferrous Sulfate** 325mg once daily to improve your iron levels and alleviate weakness. Please follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.
