I'm wondering if an ECG can actually detect angina? I mean, should I be getting an ECG for just a minor or dull chest pain, even if I don't have any other symptoms?

It is recommended to get an ECG if there are symptoms of angina or any other heart-related issues. The frequency of ECGs may vary depending on individual risk factors and medical history. It is best to follow your doctor's advice on how often you should get an ECG. In case of minor or dull pain, do we need an ECG without having any other symptoms? Yes, even minor or dull chest pain should not be ignored, especially if it is recurring. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional who may recommend an ECG to rule out any underlying heart issues, including angina.

Im feeling my heartbeat everywhere in my body, like in my arms, legs, chest, stomach, and even my head. I'm starting to wonder if that's normal or if there might be something wrong. Any advice on what this could mean?
Feeling your heartbeat throughout your body is not always a cause for concern, but it can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms. Start by observing your symptoms, managing stress, and reducing stimulants. If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and tests.

I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?
take one pain killer and one antacid
