I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allI've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. What do you think I should do about this?
Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because I have diabetes and this morning I felt a slight pain on the left side of my chest. I went to the hospital, and they did an ECG. The report said "Borderline," but it was unconfirmed. The doctor told me it's not a huge problem but that I need to watch my diet and keep tabs on my heart health. I'm a little confused and can't help but worry about what all this means. Could you help me understand? Ive been losing sleep over this.
