I've been having this really hard time breathing and there's this weird feeling in my chest where my heart is. Sometimes, it feels like I'm about to take my last breath, and it's really scary. I have no clue what's causing all this. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm experiencing some pain under my left collarbone since this evening. I've been dealing with acid reflux and started taking a proton pump inhibitor since Sunday. That day, I felt chills in my arms and chest, and my doctor said it might be anxiety and gave me a prescription for an antidepressant, but I'm not taking it yet. I had an ECG done on Sunday as well, and I'll include the report with my question. Also, I've got a cholesterol level of 124. Should I be concerned about this pain?
That could be due to aniety dont worry follow your doctors advice and you are too young to have cardiac disease,maintain healthy lifestyle

I've been feeling a rapid heartbeat and some pounding since yesterday. I checked it, and it's at 88 bpm. Is this normal? Could it be related to the cough medicine I've been taking? When should this settle down?
A heart rate of 88 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults. However, if you are feeling pounding and rapid heartbeat, it may be a side effect of the cough medicine you are taking. Some cough medicines contain ingredients that can increase heart rate as a side effect. I recommend stopping the cough medicine and consulting with your healthcare provider. If needed, you can switch to a cough medicine that does not have this side effect, such as Delsym (dextromethorphan) at a dose of 10-20 mg every 4-6 hours as needed.

My dad recently had a heart attack and got a 40mm stent placed in his LAD. Is there still a chance he might need bypass surgery for that area later on?
Yes, it's possible your dad might need bypass surgery in the future, even after having a stent placed in his LAD. While stents are effective for opening blocked arteries, they don't address the underlying cause of the blockage, and there's a chance of restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery) or new blockages forming later
