I'm feeling really concerned about some symptoms I've been having lately. There's this persistent pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm, and it's been going on for about four months now. I did a TMT test three months ago and it came back negative, but I'm still worried. I got my ECG and Echo done a few days ago and was told it's anxiety. Could you take a look at the results I've attached and let me know what you think?

"Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it seems like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected areas. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the pain persists, you should follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management."

View allI've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?
Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.

I'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?
The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.
