I'm a 41-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this chest pain on my left side along with some breathing issues for about 20 days now. I had an ECG and Stress Echo, and both came out normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this pain since it's been going on for so long. Can you recommend any medications or maybe some other tests that might help figure out what's going on? I'd really appreciate any guidance you can offer.

View allI'm 50 years old and was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at 18, but there's no blood regurgitation according to my echocardiogram. I checked with a doctor about 8 years ago, and they said it's not something to worry about. Should I mention this condition when getting my COVID-19 vaccine?
An ECG report indicating sinus rhythm, normal axis, and T and ST wave abnormalities suggests potential cardiac issues. While not necessarily serious, it requires further evaluation. Consider: Next Steps 1. Consult a cardiologist for interpretation and guidance. 2. Additional tests: Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or stress test. 3. Review medical history and medications.

I'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Can you have a look at this EKG for me? I've been having a really tough time with chest discomfort that spreads to my left arm, back, and abdomen. Went to the ER and they did an EKG; the heart doctor said it was normal. They sent me home with meds for acidity and anxiety, but Im feeling even worse now, like it might be a heart attack. So I went to another hospital where they did another ECG, but no cardiologist checked it. Im having body shivers and tremors but no chills. My stomach's also upset, with loose motions a lot because of IBS and GERD, and I ate chocolates today which are the worst for GERD. Should I get a troponin test done? Its really expensivecan I skip it? Any advice would be helpful.
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to rule out a heart attack as a cause of your chest discomfort. Given the persistent symptoms and the radiating pain to your left arm, back, and abdomen, along with the shivering and tremors, it would be advisable to go ahead with the Troponin test to assess for any cardiac damage. This test can help determine if there has been any injury to the heart muscles. It is a crucial test in cases of suspected heart attack. In the meantime, continue taking the acidity and anxiety medications prescribed to you. Additionally, avoid trigger foods like chocolates that can exacerbate your GERD symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly
