Question

I've been having this chest pain that comes and goes for the past few days. It's mostly on the left side, near the center of my chest, and sometimes my breast hurts too, but they look normal. I also had this back pain between my spine and shoulder blade on the left side, but that went away, and the chest pain came back. It feels worse when I get up, like when you have an injury and start moving after resting. Any idea what could be causing this?

Question

I'm having these weird palpitations and transient jerks in my chest that last for a couple of seconds. They seem to happen randomly, and it's really unsettling because it feels like my heart stops during those moments. I exercise regularly and don't feel any chest pain, which is odd. My ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG came back normal, so now I'm left wondering. Could I have some kind of cardiac blockage? Are these jerks something I should worry about, like signs of a potential cardiac arrest or another serious heart issue? If it's none of those, what could possibly be causing these sensations?

Question

I've been dealing with anxiety for about a month now. My cardiologist mentioned that during the echo test, there was palpitations and a skipped beat. Is this something I should be worried about? He prescribed me sleeping pills along with anxiety medication. Everything else seems normal, with the LVEF at 60. Does that sound okay?
