I have been experiencing left chest pain for a week, which sometimes feels like pressure and sometimes pain. My hand is heavy and painful, and the chest pain is random, mostly around the sides of the sternum. I also feel heaviness in my middle upper abdomen, causing pressure in the sternum. Additionally, I have intense pain in the left below armpit and back side, and my heart pounds fast with palpitations. My blood pressure was 130/80, and I had an ECG which was clear. What could be causing these symptoms, and is there anything I should worry about?

My husband is experiencing shooting pain in his left lower bowel area. He tries to poop but nothing is there. He has taken Advil for the pain, which came on suddenly while resting. He is 50 years old, in reasonably good health, and not on any medication. He has not seen a doctor about this before. What could be causing this pain and what should he do?

My ten-year-old daughter has been experiencing severe stomach pain lasting from ten to forty minutes, accompanied by chest pain and difficulty breathing, about five times over the past five months. The pain usually occurs at night, sometimes after eating or lying down. She has had an abdominal ultrasound and blood tests, all of which came back normal. Her pediatrician suspects gas bloating, acid reflux, or indigestion, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should be taken?
