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.

View allMy blood pressure has been pretty high recently, and I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it. Are there certain foods or habits I should avoid to help get it under control? Like, how long would it typically take to see a difference if I make changes to my diet and lifestyle? Im really hoping to get it down in a matter of weeks if possible.
High blood pressure (BP) can be caused by factors like genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive sodium intake, stress, and certain medications. To lower BP in weeks, focus on lifestyle changes: exercise regularly (aim for 30 minutesday), reduce sodium intake (

Couldn't sleep well last night and only got a little bit of rest today. I didn't have any chest pain earlier, but now, during nighttime, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the right side of my chest. It only lasts a few seconds, kinda like a sudden leg ache or headache. I also noticed an extra heartbeat. Could this be related to my heart? Why do we get chest pain when we're sleep-deprived?
Chest pain, especially on the right side, along with an extra heartbeat can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. However, in the context of being sleep-deprived, chest pain can also be caused by muscle strain or tension. To help with the chest pain and irregular heartbeat, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, consider taking a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the pain. Make sure to get adequate rest and improve your sleep hygiene to prevent further episodes.

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?
