I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?

View allMy heart sometimes beats really fast, like between 80 and 95 beats per minute. Does that sound normal? I'm feeling kind of scared about it, so can you help me understand what's going on?
A heart rate of 80 to 95 beats per minute can be considered normal for many individuals, especially during periods of physical activity or stress. However, if you are experiencing a consistently elevated heart rate at rest and are feeling anxious about it, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25mg to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety.

Chest pain on the left side has been bothering me on and off for the past week. I'm dealing with a lot of work stress and only getting around 6 hours of sleep a night. My evening meal times are all over the place too. I'm not having any issues with breathing or moving around, but I can't help but wonder what's causing this discomfort. Could you tell me what might be going on and if I need to get any tests or X-rays done?
once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.
