Question
I'm having these ongoing pressure-like pains in my chest, neck, and shoulder. It's really making me anxious, even though I had an echo and TMT just two months ago, and they were normal. My cardiologist said its not my heart, but I cant shake off the fear of possibly having a heart attack. What might be causing this pain, and how can I deal with this anxiety?

Since your cardiologist has already ruled out any heart-related issues with a normal echo and TMT two months ago, the pain may be due to musculoskeletal issues or other non-cardiac causes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can use muscle relaxants like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to your discomfort. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the medication packaging. If the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting with a physician for further evaluation and management.
