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.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!

I'm 32 and I noticed my heart rate hit 140 before I was even stressed, and during the second and third stages, it jumped up to between 190 and 202. My ECG came back normal otherwise. Should I be worried that this is risky for my heart or something serious? Is it possible for it to get back to normal with medication? Could this kind of change shorten the life of my heart? What kind of treatment or solution should I be looking into?

The ultrasound report indicates a PCO (Polycystic Ovary) pattern in both ovaries. This means multiple small cysts are present, a common finding in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). No abnormal solid or cystic lesions were detected, which is reassuring. Ovarian size is within normal range (33x18mm). Consult a gynecologist to discuss the report and determine next steps. Further evaluation may be necessary to confirm or rule out PCOS.
