I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the last 56 days, but now, after about 23 days, the pain seems to be slowly getting better. However, I'm really concerned because I'm experiencing shortness of breath now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Started feeling sweaty and uneasy out of nowhere and went to see the doctor. They did an ECG. Does this look normal to you? I'm a bit worried.

Based on the ECG provided, I cannot assess it without seeing the actual ECG report. It is important to discuss the results with your doctor who ordered the test. If there are any abnormalities or concerns, your doctor will be able to provide you with the appropriate treatment or further testing.

I'm really concerned because my heart rate is staying really high around 180 bpm. Even after taking medicine, it only went down to 160 bpm. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to help it get back to normal?

Heart rate of 180 bpm is considered very high and can be a sign of tachycardia. It's good that the medicine helped reduce it to 160 bpm, but it's still elevated. You should seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol 25mg to help lower your heart rate. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid any stimulants like caffeine.
