I've been having this uncomfortable pain just below my left breast, and it's only on one side. I've started working out recently. Could this just be muscle pain from exercising, or should I be worried about something else?

The pain you are experiencing below your left breast could be musculoskeletal in nature due to your workout routine. However, it is important to rule out any other potential causes such as costochondritis or even cardiac issues. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for muscle pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and avoiding strenuous exercise that exacerbates the pain may also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?
Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

I'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.
