I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?

It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

I just got my results from a full body check-up, and it turns out my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) level is at 20 mgL. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication? Would love your thoughts on this.
based on your high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level of >20 mgL, it indicates inflammation in your body. To lower your HS-CRP level and reduce inflammation, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also help in reducing inflammation. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring your HS-CRP levels.

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I walk. My TMT was negative, and everything else like the Echo and ECG came back normal. I don't have a history of illness, nor do I smoke or drink. Is there something I should be worried about?
Left side chest pain and left shoulder pain on walking without any history of illness, smoking, or drinking could be due to musculoskeletal issues or even anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent any potential cardiac events. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen (500mg) for pain relief as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.
