I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

View allI'm feeling alright, haven't noticed any issues but just out of curiosity, I wanted to check my heart rate with an oximeter. It's consistently showing between 110 and 115. Is this something to be concerned about? What's causing my heart rate to be like this?
Regarding your heart rate, a resting heart rate of 110-115 beats per minute is considered higher than normal, as typical resting heart rates usually fall between 60-100 beats per minute. There are many non-serious reasons for an elevated heart rate, including recent physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine consumption, dehydration, or certain medications. However, since this seems to be a persistent reading and you're concerned enough to ask about it, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. They can perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and determine if any underlying conditions need to be addressed. While using an oximeter at home can be helpful, it's best to have a medical professional interpret these readings in the context of your overall health.

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.
