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 dealing with this chest pain and burping for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly getting a bit worried. I've tried taking 45mg of aspirin, but it's not helping at all. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?

My dad's looking really tired lately, and I'm worried because he's been on Metocard XL 50 mg twice a day. His blood pressure has been ranging from 13070 to 15075. I'm just trying to understand what might be causing this. Any ideas?

It is possible that your father is experiencing facial weakness as a side effect of Metocard XL (Metoprolol) medication. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers, which can sometimes cause muscle weakness or fatigue as a side effect. However, it is important to note that facial weakness can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult with your father's healthcare provider to discuss this symptom and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, it may be helpful to monitor his blood pressure regularly and ensure that it stays within the target range.
