I've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection between height and the size of the ascending aorta. Like, for someone who's 6 feet tall and weighs 74 kg, what would be considered a normal size for the ascending aorta? Is there a direct link between these measurements?

For a 6 ft person weighing 74kg, the normal ascending aorta size is typically around 2.1 to 3.7 cm in diameter. There is a weak positive correlation between height and ascending aorta diameter, meaning that taller individuals may have slightly larger ascending aortas. However, this correlation is not strong enough to be used as a reliable predictor of aorta size.
