I'm dealing with this strange chest pain situation on my left side. It's kind of like a sharp electric shock that lasts for about 12 seconds, then it's just gone. The spot where it happens is almost always the same, and it's been randomly showing up and disappearing for the last 10 days. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

This type of chest pain could be indicative of a condition called costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm having this chest pain that comes and goes every day. It really bothers me, but weirdly, it seems to ease up when I take deep breaths. I've been dealing with it for about two years now, and I've also been diagnosed with anxiety. Plus, I have issues with acidity and a bit of heartburn. Could my chest pain just be from anxiety, or is there something else going on?
it's because of gastritis,take tablet Omeprazole for 5 days

I'm really worried about my father's condition. He's been dealing with coronary heart disease for about 4 years now and we've already tried various treatments and seen local doctors here in Pontianak, Indonesia. The problem is, he got really traumatized by the high doses or hard drugs prescribed to him, so now we're mainly relying on some herbal remedies like this red juice from Papua called Kuansu. It seems to help a bit, but not for long. A few doctors have mentioned that he might need a ring or bypass operation, but that's honestly really tough for us financially. I'm curious if there's any alternative treatment for coronary heart disease that you could suggest, especially considering our situation.
In cases where medication and herbal remedies have not provided sufficient improvement for coronary heart disease, and surgical options like stents or bypass surgery are not feasible due to economic constraints, another alternative treatment option to consider is medical therapy. Medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to lower cholesterol, Aspirin to reduce blood clotting, and Metoprolol to manage blood pressure and heart rate can be beneficial in managing coronary heart disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication regimen and dosage for your father's specific condition.
