I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?

based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. My heart sometimes feels like it's pounding even when I'm just standing. There are times when I can feel my radial artery and it seems like my heartbeat pauses and then starts again. I had an ECG done earlier, and it showed something like an incomplete RBBB with ST and T changes. I even occasionally feel a pulse in my back. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about these results?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat. Based on your description and ECG findings of incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) with ST and T changes, you may benefit from a medication called Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50mg twice daily, but the dosage may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
