I'm 23 and have noticed a persistent dull pain under the second-to-last rib on the left side of my chest, about 23 inches below my left nipple. It's been happening for around 12 days now, mainly during deep breaths or when I try to stretch by pushing my chest out. I've never felt this pain before, and I'm starting to get worried because we do have a family history of high blood pressure and heart attacksmy grandfather and father, specifically. I've also been smoking tobacco for the last three years. Do you think this is something serious I should be worried about?

View allI'm really worried because it feels like my heart is sinking or pausing, and I feel dizzy and confused, almost like I can't fully understand whats happening around me. I can hear and see things, but they dont make sense. My back and chest hurt too. I've had an echo and an MRI on my brain, and they both came back normal, and my bloodwork is fine as well. What could this be?
Your symptoms, including a sinking feeling in your chest, dizziness, confusion, and chest and back pain, despite normal echo, MRI, and blood work results, may be related to anxiety, panic disorder, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy; consider consulting a psychiatrist to explore these possibilities and discuss potential treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, or medication to manage anxiety and alleviate symptom

I'm really worried about my 37-year-old brother. He's been having this mild chest pain for a few months now, right in the heart area, and it sometimes radiates to his arms and back. We had an ECG, a TMT which showed a borderline positive at 10 Mets, and an echo doneall normal, and the coronary angiogram was normal too. The local doctor said it's non-cardiac and just gave him painkillers, but I'm not so sure. Could this be microvascular angina since the TMT was mildly positive and the angiogram came back normal? The pain just comes and goes for him, and it's really concerning. Do you have any advice on what this might be?
Based on the symptoms described and the test results provided, it is possible that your brother is experiencing microvascular angina. In such cases, medications like Ranolazine can be prescribed to help with the chest pain. The usual dosage for Ranolazine is 500mg to 1000mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
