I'm experiencing this weird chest and left arm discomfort whenever I hear music with strong vibrations. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm also feeling short of breath with some chest pain. I've had tests on my heart and lungs, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Since your heart and lung tests are normal, it's important to manage your symptoms. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
