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 allMy mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

I've been having this strange cold sensation near my left chest, around the heart area, and it sometimes moves to my arms and legs. Not too long ago, I had heartburn for over three weeks, and my doctor recommended Robo 20 tablets which helped with that. But now, even after an ECG which came back normal, I'm still feeling this odd coldness near my heart. Could you give me some insights or advice on what might be going on?

I've been having this small tingly sensation in my upper chest since November 2016. It kinda feels like there's a blockage or something. Should I be worried about this, and what might it be?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or a nerve issue. To help with the tingling sensation, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can take Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) 300mg three times a day to help with nerve-related symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
