I've been having this sharp pain at the bottom of my chest and when I talked to a doctor about it, they mentioned it might be due to gas. They advised getting an ECG, which I did, and I've attached the results here. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day and have been eating out quite a bit recently because of work travel. I'm 75kgs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. What should I do next?

The sharp pain in the bottom of your chest could be due to gastritis caused by excess gas. Based on your ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities detected. However, smoking and consuming hotel food frequently can exacerbate your symptoms. To alleviate the gas and chest pain, you can take an over-the-counter antacid like Ranitidine 150mg twice daily before meals. Additionally, you should try to quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes per day. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and oily foods, and opt for a more balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve your symptoms.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG report and I was hoping you could help me understand it better. The QRS is 74 ms, the QTQTc Baz is 326420 ms, PR is 110 ms, P is 84, and the RRPP is 602600 ms. It also mentions PQrsT at 567627 degrees. Is there anything in there that I should be worried about? I've attached my cholesterol report too, if that helps give a clearer picture.

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness for about three weeks now, and on top of that, I've had chest and shoulder pain for the past 45 days. Could these symptoms be related? I'm really anxious about whether this might be a heart issue. What do you think?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, and shoulder pain, could be related to a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg for chest pain and Clopidogrel 75mg for heart protection. Additionally, you may require further evaluation and tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or cardiac enzymes to determine the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.

I've recently found out that my cholesterol is really high, around 280, and my triglycerides are up there too. I'm kind of worried and wondering if there's a natural way to bring those numbers down. What would you suggest?
To help reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels naturally, you can try the following: 1. Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. 2. Exercise regularly to help lower cholesterol levels and improve overall heart health. 3. Maintain a healthy weight to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 4. Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. 5. Consider incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts into your diet. 6. Talk to your doctor about possibly taking supplements like fish oil or plant sterols to help lower cholesterol levels. If these lifestyle changes are not enough to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Simvastatin (Zocor) to help manage your levels.
