Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I'm experiencing this pinching needle-like pain mainly in my left arm, back, left nipple, and even my left leg. It's really random and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that this might be related to a heart problem?

These symptoms could potentially be related to a heart issue, such as angina. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia; I didn't use to feel any skipping of heartbeats, but over the past few months, I've started experiencing it. Should I be worried that it's happening more often now, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?

Sinus arrhythmia is a condition where the heart's rhythm is irregular, usually due to changes in breathing. If you are experiencing palpitations or skipping heartbeats, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce symptoms.
