I recently started feeling some pain on the left side of my chest and it made me really anxious, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me do an ECG and a 2D Echo. According to the reports, the doctor said my heart is normal. Can you please take a look at my reports and provide your thoughts on them? I'm still a bit worried and could use some advice.

"Sir, based on the ECG and 2D Echo reports that you have provided, which indicate that your heart is normal, it is good news that there are no abnormalities detected in your heart. The pain in the left side of your chest could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety. To alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may help with the panic and anxiety symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Take care."

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?

An echo is advised to the patient.
