I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a really low heart rate. It gets worse when I lay down, almost like it becomes harder to breathe. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

I'm 64 and have been dealing with some wheezing and trouble breathing, so I went to see the doctor. They did an ECG, and it came back showing sinus tachycardia and a right bundle branch block. Is this something I should be worried about?

I've been having this mild pain on the left side of my chest for the last couple of days, and it seems to come and go. It's not too bad right now, but I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be causing it and if I should be concerned. Any advice on what steps I should take next?
