I'm really worried because I've been having pain in my left chest every day for the past 10 months. I've done about 20 ECGs, a 2D echo, and a TMT test a month ago, all of which came back normal. The high sensitivity troponin test was normal, and so were my chest X-ray, random blood sugar, and CBC tests. I've been to the cardiologist three times, and he keeps saying it's not a heart issue, but the pain in my left chest, left hand, and upper left back is still there. I'm scared it might be a heart attack. What other tests should I consider, and which type of doctor should I see next?

Since the cardiac evaluations have come back normal and your cardiologist has ruled out any heart-related issues, the persistent left chest pain could be due to musculoskeletal problems or other non-cardiac causes. I would recommend consulting a Rheumatologist to evaluate for conditions such as costochondritis or fibromyalgia. Additionally, you may consider getting a CT scan or MRI of the chest to further investigate any potential structural issues. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for symptomatic relief.

View allI'm really struggling with this really loud sound coming from my stomach, and it's so embarrassing, especially when I'm around other people. I just feel really uncomfortable. What can I do to stop these gurgling sounds?
The gurgling sound from your stomach is a natural part of digestion, but it can be minimized with lifestyle and dietary changes. Eat smaller meals, chew thoroughly, and avoid gassy foods and carbonated drinks. Manage stress and stay hydrated to support digestion.If the issue persists or causes significant discomfort, its important to seek medical advice to rule out any underlying digestive issues.

I've been dealing with pain in the upper right side of my abdomen for about 34 days now. I decided to get an SGPT test and my results came back at 68 points, which I know is on the high side. At first, I tried taking Silymarin 140 mg tablets but didn't see much improvement. Now I'm on Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets, 300 mg twice a day, and I've been doing that for the last 2 days, but my liver pain hasn't eased up. What should I do next?
Based on your symptoms and the medication you have already tried, I recommend adding a liver protective agent like Liv 52 DS tablets. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals for better liver support. Additionally, it is important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid alcohol, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Ive been experiencing this pain that gets worse after eating, and its been going on for three years now. I had an abdominal ultrasound, but nothing unusual came up. Some days I dont feel any pain at all. Over the past three years, I've lost about 12 kg, but I've also started walking more, so maybe that's why. Im now 45 kg and I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall. Should I be worried about this weight loss, or does it seem like it's just from being more active? Any idea what could be causing the pain?
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. This can cause pain that worsens after eating. Since nothing was found on the abdominal ultrasound, other possible causes could be considered such as acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. Some common medicines available for gastritis include Pantocid, Omez, and Rabicip. These medications help reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
