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.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past 8 months, since September. I've already done ECG, Echo, TMT, and various blood tests but everything came back normal. The pain comes and goes, but in the last few days, it's been bothering me again. On top of that, I'm experiencing body pain too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you have been experiencing left side chest pain for quite some time, despite normal results from various tests. Since the pain has started again recently and you are also experiencing body pain, it may be helpful to try a medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for chest and body pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing these weird palpitations for the past four months whenever I lie down, and I'm really starting to worry. I had my blood pressure, thyroid levels, ECG, and an echocardiogram checked, and everything came back normal except for the ECG showing sinus tachycardia. Also, I had Covid about ten months ago. I'm not sure what I should do next. Any advice?
Given that your BP, thyroid, ECG, and echo were normal, but you are still experiencing palpitations, particularly when lying down, it is important to further investigate potential causes. Sinus tachycardia can be due to various factors, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, or even residual effects from a previous COVID-19 infection. Since you've had COVID-19, it could also be related to post-viral syndrome, which sometimes affects the heart. You should consider consulting a cardiologist for a more detailed evaluation, which may include a 24-hour Holter monitor to track your heart rate variability over a day, especially during sleep. Additionally, ensuring adequate hydration, managing stress, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine might help reduce palpitations.
