My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible for an ECG to come out normal but still have some unusual results in an echo test? Also, if both test results are normal, what could be the reason for having a high pulse rate? It's been on my mind lately.

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom's health after her recent checkup. She's got this LDL cholesterol level of 232, and the echocardiogram showed something called Trivial TR Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. They also mentioned LVEF at 62 and that the TMT was positive for inducible ischemia. She's 49, doesn't have blood pressure or sugar issues, but the doctor suggested an angiogram to look further into it. I'm wondering if it's really necessary?

Question

I'm having some pain in my left arm and a kind of sensation there too. At the same time, I'm feeling a bit of a light pain in my chest. What could this be? Should I be worried?
