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.

What is a heart cough?

Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
