I've been really worried about my heart ever since last year when I started having these chest and left arm pains. I got a TMT and echo done back then, and they showed everything was normal, but I'm still having these pains out of nowhere. It's like I'm always scared I'm gonna have a heart attack. Do you think I should get checked again, or could this be something else altogether?

Since your TMT and echo tests were normal last year, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. It is possible that your symptoms are more related to anxiety and panic attacks. I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of starting an anti-anxiety medication such as Sertraline (Zoloft) at a low dose initially, along with counseling or therapy to address your fears and anxiety. Additionally, you can consider taking a low dose of Propranolol (Inderal) as needed for chest pain and palpitations. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
