View allI'm a bit concerned because when I'm checking my pulse with a pulse oximeter, it's showing messages like "suspected short run of fast pulse" and "suspected occasional short pulse interval." Should I be worried about these readings?

I'm experiencing some discomfort on the left side of my chest and it's spreading to my left hand. The ribs in my chest are also aching. Could this be related to heart issues? I don't drink or smoke, so I'm really concerned about what might be causing this.
The symptoms you are describing, especially chest pain that radiates to the left hand, could be indicative of a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related chest pain. Please take one tablet while waiting for medical help.

I've been having these chest pains that come and gosometimes they're just a few seconds, other times they last for a few hours. It's mostly around the left side of my chest, but I don't have any trouble breathing, even after running, and there's no pain spreading to my neck or shoulder. I've been trying Pantoprazole for a while, but it hasn't really helped. What could be going on? Any advice would be appreciated.
"Chest pain on the left side that lasts for a few seconds to a few hours and no breathing issues after running could be due to musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, or even heart-related issues. Since Pantoprazole has not been effective, I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 5mg to 10mg three times a day. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management."
