I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Based on your symptoms and age, it is less likely to be a heart attack or angina. However, chest pain should never be ignored. It is important to rule out any serious conditions. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or acid reflux. I recommend taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums for stomach ache and trying ibuprofen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been noticing this pain in the center of my chest that lasts for a few minutes and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that it's something serious?
Chest pain can be caused by various reasons, some of which can be serious. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. I recommend you to take an ECG test to check your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 90 and 100 beats per minute, even after starting a beta blocker. I'm taking Metocard XL 50 mg. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is there anything I should do differently?

I've been dealing with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, and I've had pericarditis a few times. The problem is I don't have health insurance, so I'm a bit worried about when I actually need to see a doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing numbness in my legs, feet, and arms, and I occasionally get dizzy when I stand up. There's also some discomfort in my chest, but it's not super intense. I'm really wondering if these are signs that I should be heading to a doctor despite not having insurance. What do you suggest I do?
These symptoms could indicate a worsening of your heart condition or potential nerve issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for chest discomfort. However, it is crucial to address the underlying issues. For your heart conditions, you can take medications like Metoprolol for mitral valve prolapse and Colchicine for pericarditis. To improve blood circulation and relieve numbness, you can try Aspirin and Vitamin B complex supplements. Please visit a healthcare facility for a thorough evaluation and proper management of your symptoms.
