My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

View allI've been noticing my heart beating really noticeably when I'm lying down. My ECG came out normal, and the doctor mentioned it's palpitations and gave me some medication for it. Any idea how long it might take before the palpitations go away?
The duration for palpitations to improve can vary depending on the individual and the specific medication prescribed. However, in general, you may start to notice an improvement in your palpitations within a few days to a couple of weeks after starting the medication. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them for any necessary adjustments.

I'm experiencing some pain in my left arm and a bit of discomfort in my chest, along with some left side back pain. There's also a little bit of gas. Could you tell me if this could be something serious? There aren't any other symptoms.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. The combination of left arm pain, chest discomfort, and back pain could be indicative of a heart problem. It is recommended to take a tablet of aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin 325mg) immediately and seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, you can take an antacid for the gas relief (e.g. Tums) while waiting for medical help.
