I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

View allI'm a bit worried about my TMT results that showed inducible ischemia and mentioned a 1 mm ST change in certain leads during exercise. My max heart rate reached 206, with a maximum blood pressure of 18580, and I'm only 33 years old. I exercised for a total of 6 minutes and 19 seconds, reaching a workload of 7.40 METS, but the test was stopped when I hit my max heart rate. My 2D Echo came back normal. Do you think I need to get an angiogram, or is there anything else I should consider?
Given your positive TMT result showing inducible ischemia with 1 mm ST depression in multiple leads, achieving maximum heart rate during the test, and normal 2D Echo results, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate the extent and severity of coronary artery disease, especially considering your young age (33) and high workload achieved during the test; consult your cardiologist to discuss the risks and benefits of an angiogram and determine the best course of action.

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?
Based on the information provided, you have Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, Good LV Systolic function, Gr II LV diastolic dysfunction, and no clotpericardial effusion. It is important to continue monitoring your condition regularly with your healthcare provider to manage your heart health effectively.
