I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?

Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been smoking weed daily since I was nine. I don't drink at all, and I consider myself to be quite fit. But for the last 34 days, I've noticed the left side of my chest is a bit swollen and sore, although it's not painful to touch. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?
It's concerning that you are experiencing swelling and soreness in the left side of your chest. This could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, muscle strain, or even a potential underlying health issue. However, given your history of smoking weed since a young age, it's important to consider the impact of smoking on your respiratory and cardiovascular health. I recommend that you stop smoking immediately and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the pain and swelling. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment.

I'm curious if it's normal for my heart rate to be between 50 to 60 while I'm sleeping because I'm noticing it jumps to about 140 when I'm doing housework. Can you tell me if that's okay and what my heart rate should be when I'm resting?
A heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute during sleep is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically fit. However, a heart rate of 140 during housework seems elevated and may warrant further evaluation. For sleeping, the normal resting heart rate typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it can be lower in healthy, fit individuals. Its advisable to discuss these fluctuations with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues that need addressing
