I'm really worried about this ongoing pain I've been having. I've had pain in my left chest, shoulder, arm, and leg for about 56 months now. I got all the tests done like ECG, 2D echo, and a chest X-ray, and they were all fine, but that was 34 months ago. However, they did find a vitamin D deficiency, and there was something about my cervical spine in the X-ray. Now, for the past 34 days, I've been experiencing pain in my left jaw too. Should I be concerned that this is related to my heart or do you think there's something else I need to look into? What would be your advice on what to do next?

Given your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to consider the possibility of angina or heart-related chest pain. Since you are experiencing left jaw pain along with other symptoms, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) as a precautionary measure. Additionally, continue to address your vitamin D deficiency with supplements and follow up on your cervical issue with appropriate treatment.

I had my ECG done today, and the report showed some abnormalities. My doctor mentioned that everything was normal, but I'm confused. What should I do now?
If your doctor has reviewed your ECG report and assured you that it is normal despite showing abnormalities, it is important to trust their expertise. ECG results can sometimes show variations that are within normal limits for certain individuals. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms that persist, it is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and clarification.

My aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?
It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.
