I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

it might be due to either lung or heart cause, do chest xray it can rule out lung cause

My arm and chest sometimes start to hurt at random times. Sometimes it's just my chest, sometimes just my arm, and other times both, with this throbbing sensation that can last for a couple of hours. What could be causing this? It's really worrying me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain can sometimes radiate to the arm, neck, jaw, or back. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as needed, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists, seek medical attention immediately.

I can feel my heartbeat when I'm lying down, even though my ECG came back normal. The doctor said it's anxiety, and I've been on Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days now. How long does it usually take for this medication to help with the problem? My heart rate is around 70 now.
Feeling your own heartbeat when lying down can be a common symptom of anxiety. Ciplar LA 20 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and heart conditions. It is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, it may take a few weeks to a few months to see the full effects of the medication. Since you have been taking Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days and your heart rate is now 70 beats per minute, it seems like the medication is helping to control your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
