I'm really worried because a couple of months ago, I had some chest pain and when they did an ECG, it showed slight ST elevation in V3 and V4. The cardiologist I saw said it wasnt heart-related, but just to be sure, he had me do a TMT, and that turned out negative. Now, I had chest pain again and went to the hospital. They did another ECG that showed sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia and ST elevation, possibly early repolarization with normally inflected T wave, and called it a borderline ECG. Should I be concerned about something serious going on here?

"Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing chest pain with some concerning ECG findings. The ST elevation in V3 and V4 from the previous ECG, along with the ST elevation and early repolarization in the recent ECG, can be worrisome. However, since your cardiologist has already ruled out any significant heart issues with a negative TMT, it is less likely to be related to your heart. The presence of sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia indicates normal heart rhythm variation, which is usually not concerning. Early repolarization with borderline ECG findings can sometimes be a normal variant in young, healthy individuals. To address your chest pain and ECG findings, your doctor may consider monitoring your symptoms, lifestyle modifications, and possibly medication. In case of persistent or worsening symptoms, further evaluation or consultation with a cardiologist may be necessary. For symptomatic relief of chest pain, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan."

View allI'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?
You have to loose weight and maintain healthy BMI even though the cholesterol is normal for high BMI there is always risk of stroke better to continue to the medication till you are completely normal and healthy in all aspects

I'm getting these episodes of chest pain and heaviness on my left side that go down to my shoulder and arm, and they last a really long time, like more than a day. They happen randomly without any exertion, and it's scary. I had an ECG during a panic attack, and it showed a heart rate of 130 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but I was discharged after 12 hours. Another time, I felt that chest heaviness with a burning sensation again, and the echocardiography came out normal. The doctor said there's nothing to worry about cardiac-wise, but the anxiety and fear are hard to shake off. Should I consider a stress test or something, even though my ECG was normal at that rate?
