So I had this chest pain about 2 months ago, and it wasn't related to the heart. I got my ECG and 2D echo done, and they both were normal. I also got a chest X-ray, and some other blood tests like cholesterol and thyroid, and everything was normal except for high cholesterol. The pain went away after I took some medication. But now, after 2 months, I'm experiencing the same kind of chest pain. It's more moderate to mild this time, but last time it was really severe. I couldn't even lay on the bed then. This time too, my ECG checked out normal. Should I be doing more tests to make absolutely sure it's not something heart-related, or do you think it's enough for now?

Since your ECG results came back normal and you have already undergone tests like 2D echo, chest x-ray, FBS, HbA1c, and thyroid tests which were all normal except for high cholesterol levels, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac-related. However, if you are still experiencing chest pain, it may be beneficial to consult with your doctor to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can continue taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux and Ulgel syrup for gastritis symptoms.

Question

I've been experiencing something concerning that Id like some input on. So, last week, I had this issue but after taking some medication, it seemed to go away. However, Ive been noticing that whenever I lift weights around 25kg, I get this tight feeling in my chest. Along with that, my heart seems to race really fast. When I used my mobile to check my heart rate, the numbers were all over the place like 104, 96, 87, 45, and 79 which seemed off. At first, I thought maybe the phone sensor was acting up, but it reads other people's heart rates accurately. In the mornings, my heart rate seems stable, usually between 65 and 76, but it gets weird in the afternoon and evening. Ive had an ECG, 2D echo, and blood tests done, and my doctor says everything is normal with my heart. Is it possible for there to be issues even if those tests show normal results? I'd appreciate any insight.

Question

Ive got rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimotos. I just had an ECG at a walk-in clinic for a pre-op check-up and it showed non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement. Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried and see a cardiologist about it?
