I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?

It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

I'm dealing with this chest pain for the last couple of months, and I've already checked in with a gastric specialist and taken some gas meds. Even had an ECG done and that seemed fine. But I'm still feeling this pain when I move around or lift stuff. Could this be a muscle issue in my chest? Should I be worried, and is there something specific I should be taking to help with it?

Based on your description, it is possible that your chest pain is indeed related to chest muscle pain. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant such as methocarbamol to help relax the chest muscles and alleviate the pain. It is also important to rest the affected area and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 27-year-old female and my heart rate seems unusually high, usually over 100, sometimes even reaching 130 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. All my tests, like Spo2, ESR, vitamin levels, thyroid, lipid, and many more have come back normal, including the NT-proBNP. But I just can't shake off this feeling of worry about my heart. The doctors didn't seem to focus much on the heartbeats, though, and asked me to get an MRI spine for my pain. I often experience upper back pain, a heavy feeling in my head, shortness of breath, and sometimes pain in my left breast and shoulder blade. It's less when I'm in bed but gets severe when I'm sitting or working. With my heart rate always on the high side at my age, is this something to be concerned about? Also, why did my doctor order an MRI and not more heart-related tests?

While your symptoms are concerning, its reassuring that you've had normal cardiac markers and blood work, which likely rules out serious heart conditions. However, continued monitoring and further tests will help you get to the root cause.

I'm experiencing something strange after starting my TB medication. My heart beats really fast while I'm sleeping and even after I wake up. I don't have shortness of breath, just a persistent headache, and it's really bothering me because it's affecting my sleep. There's no cough either, just this constant headache and rapid heartbeat throughout the day. My blood pressure is around 13070. What could be causing these symptoms?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
