I'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?

I'm 24 and just had an ECG. One doctor mentioned something about ST depression, but another said it's no big deal. Should I be worried about the ST depression? Is it something that can be treated?

ST depression on an ECG can be a sign of heart ischemia or other cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of the ST depression to determine the appropriate treatment. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve medications such as aspirin, beta blockers, or nitroglycerin. In some cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
