I'm feeling a tightness in my chest and it's like there's a squeezing sensation around my heart. My heart rate seems to be going really fast. I'm obese, about 5'4" and weigh 85 kg. My job is pretty sedentary because I'm at a desk all day, and I've had diabetes for about six months. Should I be worried about these symptoms?

"Chest tightness and squeezing sensation in the heart, along with a fast heartbeat, can be concerning symptoms, especially with a history of diabetes and obesity. These symptoms could indicate a heart problem and should be evaluated promptly. In this case, the individual may be experiencing a heart attack or angina. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. The individual may be prescribed medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help manage the symptoms and prevent further complications. The dosage and frequency of these medications will depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional."

View allI was just hanging out on my bed scrolling through my phone when out of nowhere I got this sharp stabbing pain right in the center of my chest. It would come for a few seconds, disappear, and then come back again, this happened on and off for about 3 minutes. I tried lying down but it didn't really help, and finally, when I sat up again it went away, but now I'm just left really freaked out. What could that have been? Should I be worried? No other symptoms though.

I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest, it feels like a pinching sensation. Yesterday it got really bad, to the point where I couldn't breathe properly and felt really uneasy, almost like I was going to die. It seemed to get a bit better after taking a minute-long walk, but once I sat down, the pain came back. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
