I'm having this issue where whenever I increase my treadmill speed, I feel pain in the upper left side of my chest. I had a TMT and echo done just three months ago, and everything came back normal. I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

This type of chest pain during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or even acid reflux. However, since you have already had a normal TMT and echo, it is less likely to be related to the heart. I would recommend trying an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for possible acid reflux. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any musculoskeletal pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
