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'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.

I've been noticing something a bit unsettling recently, like my heart seems to be beating really hard, especially when I'm just lying down or relaxing. My resting heart rate is around 94bpm, which seems a bit high to me? Also, I can feel this strong pulse over my suprasternal notch and some weird tingling vibrations on the right side of my sternum near the carotid. Its almost like a sensation of anxiety, but I dont feel anxious at all. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on?
An ecg,cardiac markers and echo is advised to the patient, if reports are normal, advised a psychiatric opinion for anxiety..

So, I'm curious about why we need to take blood pressure meds like Coversyl indefinitely. What's the medical reason behind this? Why can't high blood pressure be treated permanently?
