I'm wondering if an ECG can actually catch all heart-related problems. I just had an ECG done and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Is it still possible that I could have some kind of heart issue even if the ECG didn't show anything?

A normal ECG result does not completely rule out all heart problems. While an ECG is a valuable tool in detecting certain heart conditions, it may not always detect all types of heart problems. It is possible to have heart issues that are not evident on an ECG. If you have concerns about your heart health, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful. I have this fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so anything unusual with my body really freaks me out. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
-Chest discomfort can sometimes be linked to things like indigestion or stress, but if it's been ongoing and sudden, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out anything serious, especially with your fear of vomiting. Your health and peace of
