View allHey doc, I've been dealing with this sharp chest pain whenever I sneeze or have a really hard cough, and sometimes it happens if I quickly flex my chest muscles during a workout. It's been almost a year now and I notice a slight pain if I press hard on the sore spot. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas?
You may be experiencing costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some palpitations over the past few days, so I decided to get an ECG done. It showed a slight elevation in v4 and v5. Could you check things over for me? My echo came back as normal.
The presence of slight ST elevation in V4 and V5 on an ECG can sometimes indicate issues such as early repolarization or, in more serious cases, ischemia or myocardial infarction. Given your palpitations and the ECG findings, it's important to follow up with a cardiologist, even if your echocardiogram (echo) is normal. The echo provides information on the structure and function of the heart, but the ECG findings and your symptoms warrant further evaluation to rule out any acute or chronic cardiac conditions.
