I've been noticing this weird pain in the upper left side of my chest, especially when I yawn. It's not constant, but more annoying in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it? Any advice would be appreciated.

The intermittent chest pain in your left upper chest, particularly when yawning, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone) or intercostal muscle strain; however, to rule out cardiac or pulmonary causes, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly a chest X-ray or stress test.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing palpitations and when I took an ECG, it showed sinus tachycardia. My 2D echo test came back normal, so my doctor prescribed Betacap TR 20mg. After a week of taking it, the follow-up ECG was normal. Can you explain what sinus tachycardia is? Should I be concerned about any heart-related issues? I've also been dealing with anxiety for the past six months. I've attached my ECGs. Can you take a look and let me know what's going on? I'm really worried about my health.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a faster rate than normal, typically over 100 beats per minute. It is usually a normal response to stress, exercise, or certain medications. In your case, since your 2d echo test was normal and your follow-up ECG was also normal after taking Betacap TR 20mg, there is likely nothing to worry about. Betacap TR 20mg is a brand name for Propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication that helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce palpitations. For your anxiety, you can continue taking Betacap TR 20mg as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may benefit from therapy or relaxation techniques to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Overall, it seems like your heart is healthy and the medication is helping with your symptoms. Keep following up with your doctor for further guidance and monitoring.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain whenever I'm angry or stressed. It feels like cramps, and it's as if my heart is full of pain. Along with that, I get dizzy and sometimes see things doubled. Even after I calm down, the pain can last for two to four hours. I'm not sure what's causing this, and honestly, it's pretty scary. Chest pain isn't something I want to ignore. Could you help me figure out why this is happening when I'm angry, stressed, or feeling down?
it might be due to anxiety, try consulting your bear by psychiatrist

I'm experiencing chest pain, and there's this discomfort and tingling sensation in my left hand. I'm not feeling normal at all. I've already done an ECG and an ECHO. Could you kindly share your WhatsApp number so I can send over my reports for your advice? I really need your help with this.
I don't know about your specific medical condition without reviewing your reports. However, based on your symptoms of chest pain, pain in the left hand, and palpitations, it could be related to a heart issue. You should consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
