I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

My dad is 59 and he's been having occasional chest pain, especially when he exercises. He had an echo cardiography and an ECG, and the reports say something about a regional wall motion abnormality with mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Can you explain what that means? What should we do next for treatment? Ive attached the reports.
Based on the reports of echo cardiography and ECG showing regional wall motion abnormality with mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction, it indicates that there is a problem with the contraction of the heart muscle in a specific region, leading to reduced pumping function of the left ventricle. The next steps for treatment may include medication to improve heart function and reduce the workload on the heart. A specialist consult will be required to assess and work out a suitable medication regimen. It is important to closely monitor his condition with regular follow-up visits and additional tests as advised by the cardiologist. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also important for overall heart health. If he experiences any worsening symptoms or new symptoms, such as increased chest pain, shortness of breath, or swelling, seek medical attention immediately. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is essential to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.
