I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been experiencing this pain between my breastbone. It happened again today while I was sleeping, and it lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. I remember feeling the same thing around 4 months ago, but it also only happens during sleep. I have no medical history to speak of. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm curious if it's possible for someone my age, 23, to have heart problems. If it is, what might cause it? I'm hopeful for some clarity on this.

Yes, it is possible for a 23 year old to have heart problems. One possible reason could be a condition called "congenital heart disease," which means the person is born with a heart defect. Other reasons could include infections, inflammatory conditions like myocarditis, or even lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or substance abuse. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Is my EKG normal? Can you manually check the QTc levels because last time the machine got it wrong? Also, I'm confused about what non-specific ST depression means. From what I understand, ST depression is linked to a heart attack or ischemia. I've had ECGs before, but this is the first time I've seen this in the report. Could you help explain this?

Regarding the EKG, I cannot check the QTc levels manually through this platform. Non-specific ST depression on an EKG means that there are changes in the ST segment of the EKG that are not specifically indicative of a heart attack or ischemia. It can be caused by various factors such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, or even normal variation. If you have concerns about the findings on your EKG, it would be best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation.

It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
