I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been having some trouble breathing and occasionally feels a bit of pain in her chest. We got all the tests donelike her echo, ECG, CT, and angiographyand the results came back normal. I'm just not sure what the next steps should be, or if there's more we should be looking into. What could be going on, and what should we do next?

I'm feeling a lot of heaviness in my chest and I'm having trouble breathing. It's like I can't take a full breath and whenever I try, it feels like it just stops and I can't hold it in for long. What could this be?

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've been having for the last eight months. Sometimes it's sharp and hits right in the center or other areas of my chest, and even my breast. I've also got this pain on the left side of my chest that spreads to my upper back on the same side. I had an ECG and a 2D echo done about five months ago, and everything looked normal then. But this pain really scares me, and I'm not sure what my next steps should be or which specialist I should see. My Spo2 levels are between 94 and 97, and my resting pulse is around 53 to 60 in the early mornings. Could you help point me in the right direction?

Patient is advised cardiac markers, spirometry ad complete blood count.
