I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

Question

I've been dealing with this left side chest pain for more than a year now and it's really worrying me. I've seen a couple of doctors and even a psychiatrist, and they all say my heart is fine. I've had a full body checkup, and apart from low vitamin D and some past hyperthyroid issues, everything looks normal. My thyroid levels are okay now, and the antibody tests came back fine. They say I have panic attack anxiety and hypochondriasis. I mean, all my tests like ECGs, TMT, chest X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy are normal, and even my cholesterol levels are fine. Still, I can't shake off this weird feeling, like I'm scared of having a heart attack because of the chest pain. I can run long distances without any problems. Oh, and I should mention that I smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes a day, and I used to drink heavily, but I've quit that. I'm just trying to figure out if this is just anxiety playing tricks on me or if there's something actually wrong with my heart. Any advice?

I had a heart valve replacement in 2012 and take 3mg warfarin daily would it be safe for me to get the COVAXIN vaccine? I'm a bit concerned about how it might interact with my medication.

Question

I'm really worried right now because my mom just got her test results back and it shows she has a negative troponin test. I'm not sure what this means for her health. Can you please explain what steps we should take next or what we need to watch out for? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
