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 concerned because I've been experiencing some chest pain, tightness, a burning sensation, and even pain in my shoulder blade and hands. I've consulted two different doctors about this. The first doctor advised me to take Ab Flo capsules, but the second doctor was more cautious and said I should only take it if I have asthma. So the second doctor gave me Pantocid 40mg, but even after taking it for the past two days, I'm still not feeling any relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.
During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.
