I've been feeling really off for the past 10 days. I get this suffocating sensation that eases up only after taking a few deep breaths, but it comes back when I lay down to sleep. It's like a mild pain on my left chest that feels kind of muscular, and it also affects the left side of my neck and shoulder. My schedule's a mess 'cause I work in ITI'm up till like 3 AM and sleep around 1 PM. I haven't had any severe pain, but I do get this sudden feeling where its like Im not getting enough oxygen. There's no history of heart or pulmonary issues in my family. Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you're experiencing occasional breathlessness, which may be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially with your irregular sleep schedule. It's important to monitor these symptoms, but considering the absence of severe pain or a family history of heartlung issues, it might also be linked to stress or sleep disruption. However, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.

View allI'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...

I've been feeling this chest pain every day, and it's making me really uncomfortable. My ECG, echo, and TMT all came back normal, so Im a bit puzzled and worried. Why isn't anything showing up in the tests even though I'm still dealing with these symptoms? What could be going on with my chest?
Given that your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, and you continue to experience daily chest pain and discomfort, it's likely that your symptoms might not be heart-related. Other possible causes could include musculoskeletal issues like costochondritis or muscle strain, gastrointestinal problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety-related symptoms. It would be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any digestive issues and consider a musculoskeletal evaluation for potential muscular causes. Additionally, managing any underlying anxiety through therapy or relaxation techniques may help alleviate your symptoms. Please discuss these possibilities with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.
