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.

View allOne of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?
A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and has stents. But he also has this tobacco chewing habit that I'm trying to help him kick. I've been thinking about getting him to try nicotine gum, but I'm not sure if it's safe for someone with his condition. Could it cause things like palpitations or any serious heart problems? I'm really hoping it won't have any bad effects. Would love to get your thoughts on this.
Nicotine chewing gums can be suitable for your father to help him quit his tobacco chewing habit. Nicotine gums are generally safe for heart patients with stents, but it is important to use them under medical supervision. The most common side effects of nicotine gums include mild irritation of the mouth and throat, hiccups, and jaw ache. However, if used as directed, the risk of serious side effects such as palpitations is low. It is recommended to start with a lower dosage of nicotine gum and gradually reduce the amount over time. I recommend consulting with your father's cardiologist or a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate dosage and usage plan for him.
