I'm a bit worried after my recent check-up. A few months back, my doctor noticed an LBBB on my ECG and recommended a 2D echo, which thankfully came back normal. I wasn't feeling any symptoms then, but now, two months later, I've started experiencing light pains that move from the left to the right side of my chest. It's not constant, but should I be concerned about these pains? Any advice would be really helpful.

"Based on your description of having occasional light pain in the left and right side of your chest, it is important to consider your history of LBBB (Left Bundle Branch Block) and the normal 2D echo test results. Since you are experiencing chest pain, even though it is intermittent, it is essential to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief as needed. However, it is crucial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring, especially considering your history of LBBB. If the pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention for a thorough assessment."

View allHey, I've been dealing with this pricking sensation on just the left side of my chest for the past year. It's more like a dull, mild sensation rather than outright pain, and it disappears within seconds. I've already done an ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood tests, and everything came back normal. Do you think I need any more tests to check my heart? Should I be worried about any heart issues even if my tests didn't show anything concerning? Also, what could be causing this pricking feeling in my left chest? Would appreciate your advice.
1) Since your ECG, echo, tmt, chest x-ray, and blood tests have all come back normal, further heart investigations may not be necessary at this point. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, a coronary angiography may be considered by your doctor. 2) If all your tests have come back normal, it is reassuring and indicates that there may not be a serious issue with your heart. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly. 3) The pricking pain in your left chest could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, nerve irritation, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. It is important to discuss your symptoms in detail with your doctor to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been really worried about having a heart attack. I keep feeling symptoms like pain in my left hand, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, shaking, fever, and even a cough. It's getting hard to focus on my daily activities because I'm always noticing these symptoms. I've done multiple testslike ECGs, an echo, a stress ECG test, a troponin test, and also an X-ray. My cholesterol has been checked twice too. All the results came back normal, but I still can't shake off the fear of having a heart attack. Why do I still feel this way despite all the normal test results?
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to the possibility of having a heart attack, despite multiple tests showing normal results. It's important to address your anxiety and stress levels in addition to your physical health. In your case, I would recommend a low dose of an anti-anxiety medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg to be taken as needed when you feel overwhelmed by these symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and regular physical activity can also help manage your anxiety. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
