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.

I'm feeling really puzzled and a bit worried about these weird symptoms I've been having. My chest feels heavy on and off, and even though I've had loads of tests like ECG, echo, holter, TMT, and even a C-reactive protein test, everything came back normal. But then there's this pain in my arms and legs, with the left side feeling worse. In the last couple of days, I've also had some breathlessness. Eating and sleeping seem fine. There are these very brief chest pains that feel like an electric shock, just for a second. I've been trying to keep active by walking 5 km daily, but sometimes I find it hard because I get out of breath. What could be going on with me?
echo and angiography is advised,, cardiac opinion

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090* This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is: - Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg - Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases. *Regular Body Pain* To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups: 1. *Complete Blood Count (CBC)*: To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions. 2. *Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)*: To measure inflammation in the body. 3. *C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test*: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions. 4. *Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs)*: To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain. 5. *Vitamin D levels*: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain. 6. *Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound)*: To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.
