I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

I'm a bit concerned because after I did some moderate exercise, like walking uphill and climbing steps, my heart rate hit about 151 BPM. Now, it's been two hours, and its still around 113 BPM. I used my pocket ECG device, Sanketlife 2.0, to check, and it says I have Sinus Tachycardia. Should I be worried about this? How long will it typically take for my heart rhythm to return to a normal sinus rhythm?

Sinus tachycardia after exercise is common, but it usually returns to a normal resting rate (typically 60-100 BPM) within a few minutes to an hour after stopping the activity. If your HR remains elevated for an extended period or if you experience other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or palpitations, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly.

I'm really worried about my dad. About a month ago, he had 2 stents put in, and since then, it's been tough for him. He can't eat much, has a dry cough, and feels weak all the time. Plus, whenever he takes pantoprazole before breakfast, he gets a headache. What could be going on? Is there anything we should be doing differently?

It sounds like your father may be experiencing side effects from the medication he is taking. The dry cough and weakness could be related to the stents or the medications he is on. The headache after taking pantoprazole could be a side effect of the medication. I would recommend discussing these symptoms with his doctor. In the meantime, he can try taking pantoprazole after breakfast to see if that helps with the headache. Additionally, he can try taking medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) and Aspirin to prevent blood clots after stent placement.

I'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

anxiety or stress issue
