I'm experiencing some issues that are really concerning me. I have chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, and sometimes I feel really drowsy. I've tried sticking out my tongue, but I've had X-rays, echocardiograms, and TMT tests, and they all came back normal. The weirdest part is that these symptoms usually hit me at midnight when I'm sleeping. I'm worried because it keeps happening. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

View allI've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest, and today I noticed there's some swelling under my ribs. It's really worrying me since I remember 2 years ago, I went through a bunch of heart checkups, and everything was fine. The doctor back then said it was because of my poor lifestyle. But now, I'm not sure what's causing this pain again. Could you suggest what might be going on and which specialist I should see?

Why does the middle of my chest hurt?
It can be due to heart attack or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. When a person is obese or have a lax esophageal sphincter there is a chance for stomach juices to get reflexed upto esophagus, causing burning pain or tightness in the middle of the chest.

I'm trying to understand what a zero calcium score really means for my heart health. My CT scan showed a score of zero, and my doctor mentioned that I'll need another scan in 10 years. He ordered some blood tests for cholesterol and Hs-CRP, which he said were good, and mentioned there's no hard plaques and a very low risk of soft plaques since there's no sugar, cholesterol, or inflammation. What does this say about my risk for a heart attack? And can a CT scan show more about my coronary arteries besides just looking for calcium deposits?
A zero calcium score on a CT scan indicates that there is no evidence of calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. This is a good sign as it suggests a low risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack. The fact that your cholesterol test and Hs-CRP test results were good further supports this. The CT scan can also provide information about the anatomy of your coronary arteries, such as any blockages or narrowing that may be present. Since your doctor has recommended a repeat scan after 10 years, it is important to continue following up with regular check-ups to monitor your heart health.
