I'm a bit worried after getting some chest pain, and my doctor did a 2D Echo test and now suggests an angiogram. I'm really concerned if an angioplasty is absolutely necessary after that? Could you help me understand if the angioplasty is always needed after an angiogram or if there are situations where it's not required?

I've been experiencing twitching on the left side of my chest at different times today. It's been happening since this morning, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any idea why this might be happening?

Kindly get an ECG, Vitamin d,vitamin b12 and thyroid function test.

I'm feeling worried because I've been having arm pain alongside chest pain. I've already had an EKG, some blood work, and an X-ray, and all the results were normal except the EKG, which showed some abnormalities. What might be causing this?

Given your symptoms of arm and chest pain, and abnormal EKG results despite normal blood work and X-ray, possible causes could include: musculoskeletal strain, costochondritis, pericarditis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, the abnormal EKG result warrants further evaluation, so consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out underlying cardiac conditions, such as myocardial bridging, coronary artery spasms, or cardiac syndrome X.
