I'm really confused. My ECG, TMT, and 2D Echo all came back negative, but I'm still experiencing chest pain and pain in my left upper arm. What should I do next?

This could be due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You can try taking over-the-counter medication like Imodium (Loperamide) 2mg after meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to regulate your bowel movements.

Earlier two heart blockages were found and now two more have been detected. I'm really confused would angioplasty be better or should I consider bypass surgery this time?
With four confirmed heart blockages, a discussion with your cardiologist about both angioplasty and bypass surgery is crucial. Bypass surgery is often favored when multiple blockages are present, especially if the left main coronary artery is involved. Angioplasty might be an option for less extensive blockages or if bypass surgery isn't feasible

I've been experiencing this really uncomfortable feeling where it feels like I'm lifting some heavy weight right in the middle of my chest. It's like this pressure or tightness, and it happens a few times throughout the day. This has been going on for about 20 to 25 days now. I'm starting to get pretty worried. What could be causing this, and is there something serious I should be concerned about?
Lifting heavy weights can sometimes lead to muscle strain or even chest discomfort. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as heaviness at the center of the chest, pressure, and tightness, could be due to musculoskeletal strain or even acid reflux. To alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medications like **ibuprofen** 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can take **omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with any acid reflux symptoms that may be contributing to your discomfort. Remember to avoid lifting heavy weights until your symptoms improve.
