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've been having this slight pain in my left chest for the past three days and it's starting to worry me. What should I do?
This chest pain could be due to various reasons, including muscle strain, acid reflux, or even heart-related issues. However, it's important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I wanted to get some clarity on my ECG results. I'm a bit concerned about terms like "sinus rhythm," "short PR interval," and "slight STT abnormality." The data mentions stuff like P duration, PR interval, and QRS durationwhat do these mean for my heart health? And should I be worried about the diagnosis info or the numbers related to things like the PQRST axis? I'd appreciate any guidance on whether my report is looking good or if there are things I need to watch out for.
Based on your ECG report, your heart rate is 97bpm which is within normal range. The P duration, PR interval, and QRS duration are all within normal limits. The QT interval is slightly prolonged, but the corrected QT interval (QTc) is within normal range. The PQRST axis values are also within normal range. The RV5SV1 and RV6SV2 amplitudes are within normal limits as well. The diagnosis information indicates sinus rhythm, a short PR interval, and slight ST-T abnormality in leads II and aVF. Sinus rhythm is a normal heart rhythm, a short PR interval can be benign in some cases, and slight ST-T abnormalities may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Overall, based on the information provided in your ECG report, it does not appear to be a concerning report for your heart. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of the results.
