I'm really concerned because I've been having upper back and chest pain along with shortness of breath for the last 10 months. Sometimes my heart palpitations get really intense. There's also this pain in my left chest that travels down to my left hand. Ive done multiple ECGs, a 2D Echo, and a treadmill test, and everything came back normal. My LDL was high at 276 but it's under control now. I also checked in with a lung doctor and even got an X-ray, which was also normal. What puzzles me is that I have no trouble when doing activities like cycling, swimming, or walking. No doctor has been able to pinpoint what's going on, so I'm really looking for some guidance. Any ideas on what could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart and cardiovascular system. Given that your ECG, D Echo, and TMT tests have come back normal, but you are still experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, it may be worth considering a medication like Atorvastatin to help further control your LDL levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. Additionally, considering your symptoms, a medication like Metoprolol can help in managing heart palpitations and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these medication options and determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.

View allI've been experiencing this odd sensation lately where my heart feels like it's beating right in the middle of my chest, and sometimes it even feels like it's hitting my throat. It usually lasts just a few seconds and then goes away. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of something serious?
This sensation could be due to heart palpitations, which are often harmless but can sometimes be a sign of an underlying heart condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) as needed to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .
