View allI've been experiencing pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm for a few days now, and I'm starting to get really worried. I went ahead and got an ECG, echo, and TMT done. I've attached all the reports here. Do you think this could be related to my heart? Which specialist should I consult about this? I'm really anxious about what's going on.
Based on the symptoms you described and the tests you have done, it is important to rule out any heart-related issues. The ECG, echo, and TMT reports will provide valuable information to determine the cause of your chest pain and left arm pain. Considering your symptoms and the tests done, it is advisable to start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential heart issues. Additionally, you should consult a Cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. It is important to follow up with the Cardiologist regularly and adhere to their treatment plan.

I'm feeling pretty anxious because my ECG report showed T wave inversion, but the TMT test came back normal. I've attached both reports. Since finding out about the T wave inversion, I've started experiencing some chest pressure and slight pain, which I didn't feel before. I'm really concerned whether this could be something serious or if it's just stress-related. Any insight on why this might be happening?
T wave inversion on ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if the TMT test is normal. However, since you are experiencing chest pressure and slight pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause. In this case, considering your symptoms, it would be advisable to start medication to relieve chest pressure and pain. you can take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to reduce any acid-related symptoms that may be causing chest discomfort. It is also important to manage stress through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?
An echo is advised to the patient.
