View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with chest pain for the last 2 years. I've had all kinds of tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and even a CT Coronary Angiography, and they all came back normal. But my blood test results are a bit concerning. My high sensitivity C Reactive protein is at 9.7 mgL, lipoprotein A is 35.09 mgdL, Lipase is 63.6 UL, SGOT is 70.9 UI, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. These numbers have gone up compared to my earlier tests. The chest pain is really troubling me the most. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?
Given your elevated blood test values, it is important to further investigate the cause of your chest pain. The increased sensitivity C Reactive Protein (CRP) level indicates inflammation in the body, which may be related to your symptoms. Considering your symptoms and blood test results, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of underlying inflammatory conditions such as costochondritis or musculoskeletal issues. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for chest pain relief. However, it is crucial to address the root cause of your symptoms through further evaluation and management. I hope this information helps.

I'm curious if it's common to have mild mitral regurgitation. Can I live a normal life with it, or do I need to limit activities like exercise or long travel?
Mild mitral regurgitation usually does not cause any symptoms and does not typically require any restrictions on exercise or travel. You can continue to live a normal life without any limitations. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and ensure it does not worsen.

I'm noticing my heartbeat feels really strong and visible in my stomach and chest all the time. Sometimes when I'm just sitting, it actually makes my body move with each beat. Is that something normal? My heart rate usually sits between 70 to 80 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is around 12090. Does that sound okay?
Having a visible heartbeat in your stomach and chest, along with feeling strong pulsations, can be concerning. This may be due to a condition called aortic aneurysm or other cardiovascular issues. Your blood pressure of 12090 is slightly elevated and should be monitored. It's important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
