I'm having this left side chest pain that's been bothering me. I visited a cardiologist, had an echo and ECG done, and everything came back normal. Even my chest X-ray showed no issues. But the pain's still there, and it sometimes gets worse when I walk a long distance. I don't have a cough or any breathing problems. I do have bronchitis asthma, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms from that right now. What could be causing this? It's really concerning. Can you help me figure it out?

take tablet. zerodol and tablet. pantoprazole and start steam inhalation

My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.

Correct anemia first then can think to do stress echocardiography....to confirm..but If there are any risk facters like diabetes and hypertension or smoking or obesity or family history & inactive lifestyle...& symptoms of chest pain or breathing difficulty, angiography should be done Anyways need insight on all these & need to see the TMT strips to suggest the next best step.
