I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

View allI've been having this chest pain for a few days now and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, I get these heart palpitations and feel short of breath. It honestly feels like I'm going to die, and it's making it hard for me to get any sleep. I went to a general physician recently and explained everything. The doctor just checked my pulse and listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said theres nothing to worry about. But can I actually trust that? I keep feeling like something's wrong with my heart, but the doctor didnt suggest any tests. Should I get some tests to check my heart health, or am I overthinking this? What would you advise?
it seems like there may not be an immediate cause for concern regarding heart health. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or cause you significant distress, its perfectly reasonable to ask for further testing to rule out heart conditions and also explore the possibility of anxiety-related symptoms. If you're still unsure or worried, I recommend having a follow-up consultation with your doctor or seeking a cardiology specialist for more specific tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram.

I'm 25 and went for a full heart check-up. My ECG and echo were both normal, but my first TMT test came back positive even though I didn't feel any pain or issues while exercising. I decided to take the TMT test again just to be sure, and this time it came back normal or negative. Why would the first TMT show positive? Do I need to look into this more or get further tests done?
The initial positive TMT result may be attributed to factors like dehydration, anxiety, or a false positive, especially since you didn't experience any symptoms during exercise and the repeat test came back normal; however, to confirm the absence of any underlying cardiac issues, consider discussing further evaluation with your cardiologist, such as a stress echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI, to rule out any potential concerns.
