So my mom had a very mild case of COVID, and it's been over two weeks since she's recovered, but she's been having this slight chest pain every now and then. It doesn't last long, like about 34 minutes at most. Im kinda worried about what could be causing this. Any idea what might be going on?

Chest pain that comes and goes after recovering from COVID-19 could be due to inflammation of the chest wall muscles or costochondritis. I recommend she take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?

start steam inhalation and if it still not resolved consult a pulmonologist

I've been having chest pain when I walk for the last 8 days, but my ECG and 2D echo reports came back normal. I've had asthma since childhood, and I'm 48 years old, weighing 75 kg. When I get the chest pain, there's no breathlessness or anything else, just the pain. It eases up when I rest. My blood pressure is normal, too. What could be causing this?

cardiac markers and ecg are advised..

I'm really worried after seeing my father's recent echo report. It mentioned mild concentric LV hypertrophy and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. His LVEF is at 75, which I think is good? But then there are terms like MV, AE, AV normal, and TDI EE 10.18, and I'm not sure what all that means. Can you help me understand the report and what it means for his heart health?

That says he is having mild left ventricular hypertrophy about wich you no need to worry and rest all the parametres are normal,have a healthy lifestyle,follow your doctors advice
