Question

I'm dealing with anxiety and I've been getting treatment for it, but I still feel this mild, constant pain or sensation in my chest. I had an ECG, TMT, and an echo done and all the reports came back fine. What could this mean?

Question

I've been smoking for the past four years and drink daily. Seven months ago, I had a stress echo, and it came back normal, even though my lipid levels, Lp(a), and triglycerides were high. Recently, I've been experiencing dizziness that comes and goes, heart palpitations, ringing in my ears, feeling my heartbeat in my ears, the sensation of my heart skipping a beat, and burping. Could these symptoms be related to a heart issue? I'm worried because of my lifestyle habits and these recurring symptoms.

Question

I've been feeling some pain in my throat when I swallow, and it's really uncomfortable. Plus, every time I move, I get this chest pain, and both of my arms are just aching so badly. What could be going on here? Is it something I should be worried about?
