I've been experiencing some chest pain when I'm jogging or running. My diagnosis results, including the echo and ECG, came back normal. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this kind of pain?

Chest pain during physical activity like jogging and running, with normal results on echo and ECG, could be due to musculoskeletal causes such as muscle strain or costochondritis. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux or anxiety. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for muscle pain, or antacids for acid reflux. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety may also help. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed.

Question

I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

Question

I've been having some concerns lately, so a few weeks ago, I had breathlessness and noticed my blood pressure was up at 140106. Went to get an ECG and Echo done the ECG showed some mild variations, and the Echo showed mild LVH. That same day, my BP was 150100, so they kept me under observation for about 4 hours and sent me home with a prescription for a 5mg BP medicine for a month. But here's the thingI didn't take the meds because I'm worried about getting dependent on them. I've been checking my BP regularly and it's mostly between 12887 and 13090, though I did have one reading of 13890. Do you think it's okay for me to keep skipping the medicine and just try focusing on lifestyle changes? Am I making a mistake here by not taking it? Would love some advice on this.

Question

I'm really worried about my 37-year-old brother. He's been having this mild chest pain for a few months now, right in the heart area, and it sometimes radiates to his arms and back. We had an ECG, a TMT which showed a borderline positive at 10 Mets, and an echo doneall normal, and the coronary angiogram was normal too. The local doctor said it's non-cardiac and just gave him painkillers, but I'm not so sure. Could this be microvascular angina since the TMT was mildly positive and the angiogram came back normal? The pain just comes and goes for him, and it's really concerning. Do you have any advice on what this might be?
