I'm experiencing this odd clicking noise in my left chest area, kind of like a bubble popping. It's also making my chest and back hurt. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

View allWhich arm to measure blood pressure right or left?
Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?
A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.

I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still be something heart-related even if the tests were okay?
Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.
