I'm relieved that my ECG and 2D echo came back normal, but I'm still experiencing some discomfort. I've been having pain in my left shoulder and occasionally some chest pain, especially when I bend forward. What could be causing this?

View allI'm experiencing these brief episodes of chest pain that just last a few seconds and then vanish. It's weird because my breathing feels fine, and my heart rate doesn't seem to speed up. I found out a while back that I have a small VSD, and my last echo six months ago was normal. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
"Hello, based on your description of experiencing chest pain for a fraction of seconds without any difficulty in breathing or increased heart rate, and considering your small ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a normal echocardiogram 6 months ago, this chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety rather than a cardiac cause. To alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help reduce any anxiety-related chest pain episodes. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm really confused about something on my chest X-ray. It mentioned "cardiovascular markings," and I'm not entirely sure what that actually indicates. Is this something serious? Should I start taking any specific meds or consider certain treatments? I'd really appreciate some advice on what steps I should take next. Thanks for shedding some light on this!
