I'm experiencing some discomfort in my left arm and around my chest. I had a TMT done recently and the results came back negative, but I'm still feeling the pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The pain in your left arm and chest could be due to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. To help relieve the pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to rest the affected arm and chest, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having really bad pain in my left hand and shoulder since this morning. It's pretty severe, and I'm worried if it could be due to acidity or something related to the heart. How can I figure out what's causing it? Can you help me?

Left hand and shoulder pain can be a symptom of a heart-related issue, especially if it is severe. It is important to rule out any cardiac problems. I recommend you to take a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and visit the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment. This can help in case it is related to a heart problem. If the pain is due to acidity, you can take an antacid like Tums (Calcium carbonate) 500mg. But it is crucial to get a proper diagnosis to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.
