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.

Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

I recently went for a routine check-up and my ECG showed a heart rate of 106. It was marked as an abnormal ECG. Now I'm worried about this result. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for my age?
A heart rate of 106 beats per minute on an ECG can be considered slightly elevated, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. It is important to consider other factors such as your age, medical history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. In some cases, a heart rate of 106 may be within normal limits, especially during physical activity or times of stress. However, if you are concerned about your ECG results, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. They may recommend monitoring your heart rate, lifestyle modifications, or medications if necessary.

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.
