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.

View allIs a heart rate of 108 bpm something I should be worried about? I'm seeing something called sinus tachycardia in my report, and I'm not sure if it's dangerous or just something common. Could you clarify this for me?
A heart rate of 108 beats per minute (bpm) falls within the range of sinus tachycardia, which means that the heart is beating faster than normal. Sinus tachycardia can be a common response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine, or physical activity. However, if it persists or is associated with symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, it may require further evaluation. In cases of persistent or symptomatic sinus tachycardia, treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate and reduce symptoms. The typical dosage of Metoprolol for sinus tachycardia is 25-100mg twice daily, but the exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on individual factors.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest, and today I noticed there's some swelling under my ribs. It's really worrying me since I remember 2 years ago, I went through a bunch of heart checkups, and everything was fine. The doctor back then said it was because of my poor lifestyle. But now, I'm not sure what's causing this pain again. Could you suggest what might be going on and which specialist I should see?

I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?
