I'm feeling a bit worried about a sensation I have in the middle of my chest, like something might be blocked. A few days ago, there was pain, but now it's just this light pressure, especially when I lay down. I also have this discomfort in my left breast, like something is blocked, but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. Could this be something serious, like a blood clot in my lungs or pulmonary embolism, or maybe myocarditis? The weird part is that exercise or taking a deep breath doesn't seem to bother it, but laying down sometimes makes me feel this fullness or pressure. What could it be?

It is important to evaluate your symptoms further to determine the underlying cause of your chest discomfort. The sensation of something being blocked in the middle of your chest, along with pressure and discomfort in the left breast, could be due to various reasons. While it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis without a physical examination and additional tests, the symptoms you described could potentially be related to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), musculoskeletal issues, or even anxiety. Given that you do not experience worsening symptoms with exercise or deep breathing, it is less likely to be related to a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) or myocarditis. However, it is still important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination, imaging studies, and possibly an ECG to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter antacids for possible GERD symptoms and practicing relaxation techniques to help with anxiety-related symptoms.

View allSo, I've been prescribed aspirin 75 mg by my doctor, but because of the weekend lockdown, I wasn't able to visit them. I ended up buying ecosprin 75 mg from the pharmacy instead. I'm curious, are aspirin 75 mg and ecosprin 75 mg the same thing?

I'm feeling a vibration sensation in my left chest that's been going on for a few seconds at a time. I had an ECG and ECO test done, and both came back normal, and the doctor told me that I don't need any medicine. But I'm still experiencing it sometimes, and I'm just wondering how long it might take for this vibration to stop?
In this case, you may be experiencing palpitations or muscle spasms. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm feeling a bit worried about this uneasy sensation in my chest that comes and goes. I know I tend to have hypertension, although my blood pressure is currently at 12878. I'm already on medication for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels, but my latest ECG showed something about sinus arrhythmia, even though it mentioned no significant abnormalities. Can you help me understand what this means and if there's something I should be doing?
You are experiencing chest discomfort and have a history of hypertension and high triglyceride levels. Your current blood pressure is 12878 and your ECG shows sinus arrhythmia with no significant abnormality. Considering your medical history, it is important to continue with your current medications for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. In addition, to address the uneasy feeling in your chest, you can take a medication like Ranitidine (Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals to help with any potential acid reflux or gastritis symptoms that may be causing your discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
