I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

I'm really concerned because every few days, I feel my heart beating really strongly, especially when I'm lying down. It's so intense that my whole upper body shakes with each heartbeat. I've had an ECG and an echo, and both came back normal, but these episodes still happen occasionally. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Since your ECG and echo results came back normal, it's good to rule out any underlying heart conditions. In this case, you can try using a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose of 25mg to help reduce the strength and frequency of your heartbeats. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss this option and any potential side effects.

My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

do ECG to rule out

Ive been experiencing some chest pain on the upper right side whenever I laugh. Its strange because the pain shows up only during laughter and then just disappears. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just pass on its own?
