I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.

Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

I'm 35 and I've been having this pain in the middle of my chest since last evening. It feels like it's right in my chest cage and it gets worse when I move around. I'm not having any trouble breathing, which is a bit of a relief. Before this, I had some lower back pain, but that kind of went away on its own. And just last week, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics like augmentin and medications like pantoprazole and meftal Combiflam based on the symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest a treatment? I'm a bit concerned about this chest pain.
