I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Is it normal for my heart rate to drop below 50 when I'm in deep sleep? I've noticed my heart rate goes down to around 45 while sleeping, and it's usually around 55 when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this?

Yes, it is normal for the heart rate to decrease during deep sleep. A heart rate of around 45 during deep sleep and 55 at rest is within the normal range for many adults. There is no need to be concerned about this unless you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or chest pain.
