I'm trying to figure out what's causing my shortness of breath. If my HRCT scan looks normal, but I'm still experiencing breathing issues and my ECG shows RBBB, what could be going on? Should I consider getting a CT coronary scan to investigate further? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

View allI'm a 27-year-old male with a family background of heart issues, and I've been struggling with some concerns about my health. I smoke and drink daily and recently got my tests done where my lipid profile showed high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lpa levels. I saw a cardiologist four months ago, and after undergoing an ECG and Stress Echo, everything was normal. However, I often have bronchitis, and a few days ago, I caught a cold and have had allergies. Lately, I've been feeling this pressure in the middle of my chest and having trouble breathing, along with dizziness while walking, which has been going on for around 34 days. There's also this dragging sensation on my left front shoulder. I went for another ECG, and it was normal, but there's still pressure in my throat and chest, with palpitations and anxiety. Could this be heart-related, or is something else going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart health, especially considering your family history of heart problems and your high lipid profile. Given your symptoms of pressure in the middle of the chest, breathing difficulties, dizziness, and dragging sensation on the left front shoulder, it is important to take these symptoms seriously. Considering your risk factors and symptoms, it would be advisable to start taking a medication to manage your high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lp(a) levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related issues. Additionally, to help with your symptoms of chest pressure, palpitations, and anxiety, you can take a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help manage these symptoms and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management, as they may consider additional tests or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your current symptoms and risk factors.

I'm having chest pain that's really concerning me. When I press the center of my chest with my finger, it hurts, and sometimes I feel pain on the left and right sides too, but other times there's no pain at all. Even when I cough, it's like the pain flares up in my chest. Lately, I've also been experiencing some back pain. I have had diabetes for the past 10 years and have been on Novamix 30 insulin. Could you suggest any medication or remedies for relief?

I'm really worried about my spouse. They've been experiencing chest pain when they stretch, ever since recovering from COVID. We're not sure if it's related to their muscles or bones. I've attached their ECG report. Can you please take a look and help us figure out what might be going on?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.
