I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of aspirin (325mg) to help thin the blood and reduce the risk of further complications. Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.

Can you help me understand what's causing this pain?

I'm experiencing some chest and arm pain, and I've been having heart palpitations lately. It's kind of weird because I can feel my heart pounding even when I'm just resting. I'm not super active, and my BMI is around 27.5. My HDL is only 34 but my blood pressure seems normal. I got an ECG done, and it showed a heart rate of 109 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but there weren't any ST T changes. The PR interval came out at 197 ms with a high QR of 86 and QTQTc between 298 and 402. Do you think I should get more tests done? What could all this mean?
Chest pain, arm pain, heart palpitations, and a high heart rate at rest with sinus tachycardia on ECG can be concerning symptoms. With a low HDL level and a BMI of 27.5, there may be underlying cardiovascular issues that need to be addressed. The PR interval of 197ms is slightly prolonged, which could indicate an atrioventricular conduction delay. Further evaluation is warranted to assess the overall cardiac function and rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an echocardiogram, stress test, and possibly a Holter monitor to assess heart rhythm over a longer period. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and possibly medication like Atorvastatin to improve HDL levels may be beneficial in managing your cardiovascular health.
