View allI'm a 39-year-old guy and I used to do a lot of sports about 20 years ago. Last May, I had an angiogram that showed a myocardial bridge in my mid LAD, causing 30% systolic narrowing. The doctor said it's nothing serious and pretty normal, but sometimes I still get chest pain and it even goes down my left arm. This pain usually kicks in during the evening and can last through the night. It's weird because it happens in phases, like I'll have it for about 10 days, then it'll disappear for a month or so, only to come back again. I went to see a gastroenterologist too and they think I might have GERD. I had an upper GI endoscopy and they found an H. Pylori infection, so they put me on pantoprazole. That helped a bit, but I still get the chest pain sometimes. I'm anxious a lot, and the doctors mentioned that might be making both the pain and the GERD worse. The heart doctors say the angiogram was normal and that's the gold standard, so they're not worried. I've started exercising, doing yoga, changed my diet, and managed to lose about 5kg. I even cut down on smoking to just one cigarette a day. What do you think might be going on here with this recurring pain?
