I've been feeling this heavy sensation and pressure on my chest, and it's making it hard to breathe. There's no actual pain, but it's definitely worrying me. What could be causing this shortness of breath? Should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, right around my heart, and I'm also having a lot of burping, indigestion, and gas issues. I'm trying to figure out if this is something to do with my heart or maybe it's just my stomach acting up. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

When I lie down and then get up to walk, I experience a heavy feeling or difficulty in breathing for about 2 to 3 minutes. I also notice a heaviness in my upper abdomen during this time. After those few minutes, I feel normal again. I've had an X-ray, CT scan, ECG, and a 2D echo, and all the results came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or am I just overthinking it?

I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

it should be normal
