I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest, and I found out that my ESR is 25. My vitamin D3 level is really low at 3.75. I got a CT scan of my lungs, and everything came back normal. I'm curious if taking vitamin D3 supplements will help with this chest pain, or do you think I should see a cardiologist about it?

View allI'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations

One of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?
A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.

I'm a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?
No need to stop medications , all the medications are to be continued including ecosprin.
