I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?

I've been having this chest pain and heaviness, and sometimes it feels like I'm short of breath, especially when I'm walking. I got an ECG and a chest x-ray, and they came back normal. I went to a nearby clinic just a couple of days ago for the same issue. I can't help but think I might have angina, but no doctor has confirmed this. They usually just check my pulse rate and listen to my heartbeat with a stethoscope and tell me everything's fine. Should I be worried about this, or can I trust the tests and what the doctors have said so far? Would love some guidance!

Since your symptoms are persisting, it's important to consider other causes of chest pain apart from heart-related issues. One common condition that can cause similar symptoms is acid reflux or GERD. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks to see if your symptoms improve. Additionally, you can also take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily for immediate relief of chest pain. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm getting palpitations after just one drink of alcohol and my ECG results show something about a QRST contour abnormality and possible inferior myocardial damage. What should I do about this?

Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption. You should also consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and protect your heart. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Aspirin (75-150mg) to reduce the risk of further myocardial damage. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
