I've been having some mild pain in the mid and left upper chest when I breathe heavily, and it changes depending on how I'm sitting. It seems to happen when I switch from inhaling to exhaling. I've had an ECG and Chest X-ray, and both came back normal. Could this be something to worry about?

I'm 30 and just had an osteoma removed from my forehead, and right before the surgery, they did an ECG. The results said "borderline ECG" and mentioned something about "widespread ST elevation." Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried about these results?
Borderline ECG findings can be normal variants in some individuals, but when combined with widespread ST elevation, it may indicate a potential issue with the heart's electrical activity. This could be due to various reasons such as myocardial injury, pericarditis, or even an electrolyte imbalance. It is important to further evaluate this finding with additional tests like cardiac enzymes, echocardiogram, and possibly a stress test. Depending on the underlying cause, medications like aspirin, beta-blockers, or nitroglycerin may be prescribed. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

I've been having some chest issues and I went to the doctor who said it's just my bone and everything's normal, so he prescribed Pan 20 for 10 days before meals once a day, Bandy medicine, and a vitamin D sachet to take once a week. But I'm still a bit worried because I sometimes feel chest pain when I take a deep breath, and in the mornings on my left side. The pain's really sharp, but it only lasts about 45 seconds and happens maybe 6 or 7 times a day. I had anxiety about three years ago, and I also sleep on my stomach. Could that be related or something I should be more concerned about? Any advice would be really helpful.
It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding the chest pain you are experiencing, especially if it is recurring multiple times a day. The sharp pain in the left chest that lasts for a few seconds could be due to various reasons, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is crucial to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
