I've been experiencing a really sharp pain on the left side of my neck that feels like being poked with a big needle. It's been going on for a few days now. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Considering your symptoms and test results, it's possible that your chest pain is related to:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Esophageal spasm Musculoskeletal issue
Consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.
They may recommend additional tests, such as an endoscopy or pH monitoring.
In the meantime, continue with the antiacid and anti-gas medications as prescribed.

View allI'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing this muscle twitching in my upper arm near the shoulder. It happens quite frequently, and I've also noticed similar twitching in my left chest and the middle lower chest area. The twitching in my arm seems to be the most constant. Should I be worried about this?
Possible Causes* 1. *Muscle fatigue*: Overuse or strain of the muscles in your upper arm and chest. 2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Low levels of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, calcium), vitamins (B12, D), or minerals. 3. *Nerve stimulation*: Irritation of the nerves supplying the muscles in your arm and chest. 4. *Anxiety or stress*: Tension and stress can cause muscle twitching. *When to Worry* 1. *Persistent twitching*: If twitching continues for an extended period. 2. *Weakness or pain*: If you experience muscle weakness, pain, or numbness. 3. *Other symptoms*: If you have difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist. 2. *Get a physical examination*: To rule out underlying conditions. 3. *Blood tests*: To check for nutritional deficiencies or other underlying conditions. 4. *EMG (Electromyography)*: To evaluate muscle and nerve function. In the meantime: 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich fluids. 2. *Manage stress*: Engage in relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing. 3. *Avoid caffeine and nicotine*: Both can exacerbate muscle twitching.
