View allI'm really concerned because my ECG results came back as abnormal and it's showing PVC. Is this something I should be worried about? Would appreciate your insight on this.
PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). In most cases, PVCs are harmless and don't require treatment. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have underlying heart conditions, further evaluation may be needed. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help reduce PVCs if necessary. Dosage can vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dose.

I've had this stabbing pain right in the middle of my chest that I've been dealing with since I woke up one morning. It feels sharp, especially when I inhale deeply, sneeze, or put any pressure on my chest. I tried taking pain relievers and some NSAIDs, and after about a week, the pain mostly went away, but I still feel it when I move or squeeze my chest too much. It's been 3 months since then, and the day after this pain started, I caught influenza. I did visit a general doctor, but they said it might be from the flu or just because I slept wrong and put too much pressure on my chest. I'm really worried about what this could be. Could it actually be something more serious?
do chest xray. take one pain killer

I've been having chest pain for the last 10 days and I'm really concerned because both my ECG and 2D Echo results came back normal. They mentioned something about PAH and mild TR. Could you please suggest what kind of medication or next steps I should consider?
Echo suggestive of tricuspid regurgitation , hence cardiologist opinion is advised for further management of the patient.
