Severe chest pain and high heart rate. What’s the cure?
Hello doctor,
I am a 23-year-old female with a height of 5 feet 3 inches and a weight of 110 pounds. I am not taking any medicine. I am having chest pain for a month and high heart rate, which is very painful in the night. I had an EKG which showed tachycardia. Can you please tell me what medicines or herbs can cure high heart rate? It is urgent. I have been to the hospital many times, but they said there is nothing they can do for me. Please help.

What causes pain and twinges in the groin area while moving?
Hi doctor,
I have had pain in my lower stomach just above my crotch area for about seven weeks now. When I first went to my doctor with the complaint, he said I could have pulled a muscle. I have made an appointment to go back again, which he told me to do and he advised me to bring a urine sample. It does not hurt all the time. It does not hurt when I go to the toilet for passing urine and stools. Sometimes, when I am walking along, I do get a twinge in my groin area. If I sit down in a chair and move my legs towards me, then it does not hurt. But, I am getting pain when I lean up from a position such as from a bed or sofa. Sometimes, when I cough or sneeze it twinges. I do a lot of bending and lifting at work. It has not got any worse but does not seem to have gone either.
Please help.

What causes sternum discomfort when walking uphill?
Hello doctor,
I have a very localized discomfort under my sternum when I exercise. Generally, it does not occur with just walking on level ground but on even a gentle slope (incline), I begin to notice it. I have had an echocardiogram. The cardiologist recommended an angiogram and possibly an angioplasty. I would like to communicate with a second cardiologist and discuss the possibility of just doing diet changes plus some kind of drug regimen. I am prepared to pay for the consultation independent of any insurance. Two consultations where there was a general discussion about the issue and a second consultation where the physician has reviewed my medical records is what I am thinking might be best. I would like a cardiologist to review the details of my condition and test results and provide a recommendation as to the best course of action for me. Right now, I am just trying to understand that this is something that you do and that going forward from here is useful. I would like to be able to see something about the physician who would be reviewing my case.
