I've recently quit smoking, but I'm still experiencing chest pain. I had a stress test done, and it came back normal. Could you suggest a doctor who might be able to help me with this?

Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Question

I'm really anxious about this pain I'm having under my left breast, and it's going down towards my rib. It's this heavy pressure that feels really tender and occasionally there's a sharp pain. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's pretty scary. There's also this sensation like bubbles in that area. What could this be? Is it something serious?

Question

I'm a bit puzzled because my blood pressure reading came out to be 9864, which seems really low. I don't feel dizzy or anything, and I don't have any underlying health issues. Do you have any idea why my BP might be on the lower side? Also, what can I do to help improve it?

Question

I was really stressed out and had a day where I experienced palpitations. It's been about a month since then, and I went in for both an ECG and an echocardiogram. The doctors told me everything looked normal, but I noticed a Q wave in lead 3 on my ECG. Is that something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?
