I'm trying to understand how likely it is to have a heart blockage if my ECG comes back normal? Also, under what circumstances would a doctor suggest going for an angiography?

When ECG is normal no need to worry,if you have non specific chest pain,get a 2D echo done and visit Cardiologist for appropriate management

- Significant heart blockages are generally rare at this age without risk factors.
- Some blockages may not appear on an ECG unless they cause ischemia or symptoms.
-
When Angiography is Recommended for a Young Male
- Symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath might prompt angiography despite a normal ECG.

View allI've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?
Egg-cellent question! _Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?_ 1. _Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas_: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals. 2. _Protein and sulfur compounds_: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating. _Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option_ 1. _Easier to digest_: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down. 2. _Less gas production_: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently. _Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites_ 1. _Try digestive enzymes_: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas. 2. _Experiment with cooking methods_: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production. 3. _Reduce portion size_: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms. _Consult a Healthcare Professional_ If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 113 over 81 is considered normal. My diastolic seems to fluctuate between 81 and 90 and I'm noticing that my systolic always tends to stay on the lower side. Could you give me some insight into whether this is something I should be concerned about or if it's within a normal range?
Blood pressure of 11381 is considered normal. Diastolic blood pressure fluctuating between 81-90 is still within normal range. It is common for diastolic blood pressure to fluctuate slightly. As long as your systolic blood pressure remains on the lower side and within normal range, there is usually no cause for concern.

I've been having trouble breathing when I'm lying down, but I feel fine otherwise. It's been happening on and off for a few months, but the nights of December 11th and 12th were really tough for me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?
