I'm feeling pretty anxious because I recently had some chest pain and my doctor recommended a CT angiography. The report mentions something about a small segment of myocardial bridging in the mid LAD. I'm really worried about what this means. Is it a big deal? Should I rush to consult a specialist, or is this something that I can keep an eye on for now? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Myocardial bridging is a condition where a segment of a coronary artery tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. In most cases, myocardial bridging is considered a benign condition and does not require any specific treatment. However, in some cases, it can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, especially during physical exertion. In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain and have already been advised angiography, it would be best to follow up with a cardiologist. They can further evaluate your condition and determine if any additional treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, you can manage your symptoms with medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers to help relieve chest pain.

I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?
Patient is advised pulmonary function test(PFT).
