I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really concerned about this left chest pain I've been experiencing for the past 10 days. It's mostly just a feeling of heaviness in my chest, and I'm finding it really difficult to breathe properly. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Hi. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related pain. Please take one tablet with a glass of water.
