I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?

based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm looking at these ECG results, and I'm kinda worried. It mentions things like incomplete right bundle branch block, sinus tachycardia, and negative T-wave anterior. There's also something about right atrial enlargement. It even says "probably abnormal ECG." Should I be concerned about these findings? Is any of this stuff serious? I'm really not sure what all these terms mean for my health.

I've recently quit smoking, but I'm still experiencing chest pain. I had a stress test done, and it came back normal. Could you suggest a doctor who might be able to help me with this?
Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
