I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?

Today my mom's been having chest pains, so we got an ECG done. The results mentioned an abnormal R wave progression with early transition. I'm not quite sure what that means or how concerned we should be. Can you explain it to me and let me know if it's anything serious?

yes

I'm a bit concerned because this morning and afternoon I noticed I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and some on-and-off pain in my left armpit area. I went for a 4 km walk this evening and felt a bit better afterward, with not as much shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be related to my recent COVID recovery a few months ago? I used fabiflu, dolo, and multivitamins during that time. Also, I've had gastric issues that seem to have worsened post-COVID, and I'm on suloxid o for that. What could be going on with me?

take pantop 40 mg for 3days

I'm feeling some pain on the left side of my chest. It's not constant, and sometimes it just goes away on its own. I'm kinda worried about what this could mean or if I should be concerned. Any ideas on what might be going on?
