I'm really worried about my brother who's 31. He's been having chest pain on and off for the past month, every 3 to 4 days, right in the middle of his chest, and it lasts around 12 hours each time. He saw a doctor nearby who did an X-ray, but they said his chest looked fine. Could you take a look at the X-ray and report? We really need some good advice on what to do next.

Immediate Steps: a. Since the X-ray is reportedly normal, consider other causes for chest pain. b. Schedule a follow-up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Potential Next Steps: a. Discuss the possibility of an ECG or stress test to assess cardiac function. b. Consider gastrointestinal causes like GERD; a trial of antacids may be helpful.

Lifestyle and Monitoring: a. Keep a diary of symptoms, noting triggers and patterns. b. Encourage a balanced diet and regular exercise, avoiding known triggers like caffeine or spicy foods.

When to Seek Immediate Care: a. If pain worsens, is accompanied by shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms, seek emergency care.
