I'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?

"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

View allI've been having this strange sensation in my chest at night, especially when I lie down flat. It sort of feels like something is squeezing or tingling inside. There isn't any pain or trouble breathing, but it does make me pretty uncomfortable. It never lasts more than an hour, and I seem to feel better if I change my sleeping position. I'm on high blood pressure medicine and recently got my kidney and thyroid functions checked, and everything was normal. I'm curious about what might be causing this. Could it be related to the medication or something else?
ecg and echo advised to the pt..

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 87 and had an angioplasty a few years ago. We just found out he has mild bradycardia. The doctor gave him Flavedon MR, but now he's sleeping almost all day and feeling a bit dizzy. Should we keep him on this medication, or is there something else we should try?
YES..patient has to continue same medicaton.. No need to stop flavedon, mild bradycardia is normal in post angioplasty patients.For his vertigo i would recommend tab vertin 8mg thrice daily,orally after food for atleadt 2 weeks.
