Ive been noticing some pain in my chest that moves to my left arm and its paired with shortness of breath. It usually happens after Ive had an emotional setback and tends to go away on its own after a while. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. In your case, the pain may be triggered by emotional stress. I recommend you to take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dose is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. If the pain persists after taking the medication, please seek immediate medical attention.

View allI had a little bike skid yesterday and it really scared me. I felt a bit of anxiety and had a little heart pain, but luckily no injuries. I went to see the doctor and they did an ECG to check for any problems. Is there anything else I should be worried about or any other steps I should take to make sure everything is okay?
It is good that you got your ECG checked by a doctor to rule out any problems. For anxiety and heart pain, you can take a medication like Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed for anxiety relief. For heart pain, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help with any inflammation or discomfort. Remember to follow up with your doctor if you have any persistent symptoms or concerns.

I'm 18 and just got my ECG results which say sinus arrhythmia but I don't really understand what that means. My heart rate is 75 bpm, P is 97 ms, PR is 117 ms, QRS is 98 ms, QTQTc is at 352395 ms, and there's something about RV5 and SV1 being at 2.7031.245 mv. They noted it's a normal ECG, but I'm still a bit worried. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers?
Your ECG report indicates a normal heart rhythm with a diagnosis of sinus arrhythmia, which is a benign condition characterized by a variation in heart rate with breathing, and all other parameters, including PR, QRS, and QT intervals, are within normal limits, suggesting no underlying cardiac abnormalities, so you can be reassured that your heart is functioning normall

I'm really confused because I keep having chest pain, but my tmt, ecg, and echo are all normal. I've had about 20 ecgs, but everything checks out fine. I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas or advice would be really appreciated.
