I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

View allI've been having this quick, sharp pain on the left side of my chest whenever I put pressure on my left hand or lift something heavy. It's really strange because the pain just pops up out of nowhere, lasts only a few seconds, and then it's gone. Its been happening now and then for about 4 or 5 months, but it seems to be more frequent lately. Any idea what could be causing this? What should I do about it?
This type of chest pain that is triggered by certain movements or activities could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as costochondritis. It is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help relieve the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed with food. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also provide some relief. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?
Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.
