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.

I've been taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning and before dinner, along with Newcita Plus and Oleanz 5, but I took Newcita Plus by mistake. Now I'm experiencing right side back pain and arm discomfort. Do you think it would be okay to increase Betacap TR 40 to Betacap 60?
Yes, you can increase the dosage of Betacap. Betacap TR 40 contains propranolol 40mg, while Betacap 60 contains propranolol 60mg. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. If your doctor agrees, you can switch to Betacap 60 and follow the recommended dosage instructions.

I'm really worried because my heart rate has been staying between 100 and 130 for the past three months. Just a few days ago, I started feeling pain in my chest and arm. What should I do?
Your symptoms of a persistently high heart rate along with chest and arm pain are concerning for a possible cardiac issue. It is important to seek immediate medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg immediately to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.
