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?

Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.
