After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been experiencing chest pain on the right upper side for a few months now, especially when I lift something heavy. Recently, the pain has also started on the left side and even near my shoulder sometimes. All my tests like RA Factor, thyroid, chest x-ray, and blood tests have come back normal. I occasionally feel mild pain near my breast too. I'm getting kind of worried. What could be causing these symptoms?

Question

I'm looking for some help understanding my ECG report. One of the doctors mentioned something called Prolonged QT syndrome, and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some more details about it? I've also attached the medications I've been prescribed.
