I'm having some issues with chest pain on my left side, and it's been going on for the last couple of months. The pain comes and goes and often extends from my upper chest to my left arm. I've also experienced some pulling in my left leg and occasional abdominal pain. I've had 5 ECG tests which were normal, and my echo showed an LVEF of 55. Today, we did a TMT. Could you help explain what all this means? Do you think I need any other tests?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain in your upper chest that extends from your shoulder to your left arm, along with left hand pain and abdominal pain, could be related to this. The normal ECG results and an LVEF of 55% from the echo are positive findings. Since you have already undergone a TMT (Treadmill Test), it is good for assessing how your heart responds to exertion. If the TMT results are inconclusive or if your symptoms persist, you may consider getting a coronary angiography to visualize any blockages in the coronary arteries. This test can help determine if there is any significant blockage that may be causing your symptoms. In the meantime, it is important to manage your symptoms. You can take medications like Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots, and medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin can help relieve chest pain during episodes of angina. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I had a heart valve replacement in 2012 and take 3mg warfarin daily would it be safe for me to get the COVAXIN vaccine? I'm a bit concerned about how it might interact with my medication.
