I've been dealing with this chest pain for the last three months, and it's really starting to stress me out. What's weird is that it happens more when I'm resting or trying to sleep. I've gone through a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, TMT, Echo, ECG, and an endoscopy, and everything came back normal. Even my cardiologist says it's not a heart issue. I'm taking Nexpro for the gastric stuff, but it hasn't helped much. The pain is always on the left side, never the right. Do you think there's something else I should be checking out, or any advice on what this could be?

I've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?
It is a measure of liver stiffness, with higher values suggesting more advanced liver fibrosis. This does not necessarily mean it is due to fatty liver, as there are various causes of liver fibrosis. Based on the fibroscan report, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of liver fibrosis. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause of liver fibrosis.
