I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

I'm worried about my pulse oximeter readings. It's been showing my pulse rate between 112 and 120, and my oxygen saturation levels are at 92 to 94. I've noticed my heart beats really fast occasionally over the past month. Considering my age and other health issues, do you think this is something I need to be concerned about?

A pulse rate between 112 and 120 with oxygen saturation of 92-94, especially if you're experiencing a fast heartbeat intermittently, can be concerning, particularly with your existing health conditions. It would be wise to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying issues, as it might indicate a need for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain, and sometimes it's hard to breathe deeply. At night, my heartbeat seems to race, and in the morning, I'm dealing with a lot of cough. Could this be because of smoking, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?
