My sister's been having mild chest pain for the past couple of days. She got an ECG done, and while the doctor said everything was normal and it's due to acidity, I'm still a bit concerned because the ECG mentioned something about right axis deviation.

I've been having some mild pain in the mid and left upper chest when I breathe heavily, and it changes depending on how I'm sitting. It seems to happen when I switch from inhaling to exhaling. I've had an ECG and Chest X-ray, and both came back normal. Could this be something to worry about?
