I had this sudden pain on the left side of my chest last night, and it kind of felt like there was pressure in my throat too. It went away after about 15-30 minutes, but theres still a bit of chest pain lingering. Any idea what might be going on? Im really worried.

Based on your description, it is possible that you may have experienced a muscle strain or inflammation in your chest wall, known as costochondritis. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the chest that may worsen with movement or deep breathing. It is usually not serious and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) taken at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions such as a heart problem.

View allI'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Yes its is due to fluctating tsh levels. U may repeat angio after 6 months.

I'm a bit worried because my WBC count is at 12,900. Im currently taking Dilzem, Rosuless, and Teneza. Could you let me know if this might be related to the medications, and if there's anything I should be concerned about? What should I do next?
I recommend continuing with your current medication regimen.

I'm a bit confused about the changes in my LVEF readings. Initially, my echo showed an LVEF of 55, but a month later, it increased to 70, just 30 minutes after undergoing a TMT. Is it normal to have such variations, and should I be concerned about this?
The increase in Lvef from 55 to 70 after 30 minutes of tmt could be due to the positive effects of the medication. To maintain and improve your heart function, you can continue taking medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 10 mg once daily as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important to monitor your heart function and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
