I recently did some heart tests because I was experiencing pain in my left arm. My doctor mentioned it was muscular pain. My ECG didn't come out normal, but the TMT and 2D echo were fine. I'm really confused about whether it's okay to do strength training at the gym. I've attached my reports. Can you check them out and let me know what you think?

based on the reports you have provided, it's good to hear that your TMT and 2D echo results are normal, despite the abnormal ECG. Since your doctor has mentioned that the left arm pain is muscular in nature, it is generally safe to engage in strength training at the gym. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid any strain on the muscles. You can start with light weights and focus on proper form and technique. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with a fitness trainer at the gym to create a suitable workout plan that aligns with your health status. Remember to listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort or pain.

View allI'm really worried because my echo showed mild TR, and I've been stressed ever since. Googling it made things worse, and now it's all I can think about. Lately, I have this constant chest pain and am terrified of a heart attack. It's making my life unbearable. What should I do?
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and stress related to your health concerns. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend starting with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and a healthy diet. Additionally, you can take medication such as anxiolytics like Xanax (alprazolam) 0.25mg to help with your anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
anxiety or stress issue
