I'm dealing with some constant pain in my chest, neck, shoulders, ears, and upper back. I've already had an ECG, ECO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. But the pain is still there and just won't go away. What should I do about it?

View allMy mom keeps mentioning that she's experiencing chest and back pain off and on. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could there be any specific reasons for these symptoms that we should look into?
Chest pain and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some common causes include musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or inflammation. However, more serious conditions like heart problems (such as angina or a heart attack), lung issues (such as pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism), or gastrointestinal problems (such as acid reflux or gallbladder issues) could also be the cause. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm 26 and a few months back, I had a fever that went away in a week. Then, out of nowhere, my heart rate shot up to 144 bpm, and I felt like there was an air bubble in my chest. I got an ECG done, which showed minor ST and T wave abnormalities, and I'm attaching it here. Now and then, I still get these episodes. While my 2D echo and blood pressure are normal, I've been dealing with random chest pains that last just a secondsometimes on the right and then on the left. My stomach feels upset too, and I get really gassy during these times. I'm confused about what might be causing these ECG changes. Curiously, I never feel chest pain when jogging or exercising, only when I'm at rest. Different doctors have told me different things; some say it's normal, and others think it might be gas. What's really going on here? Should I be worried about these ECG changes?
The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the ECG changes showing minor ST and T wave abnormality, could be indicative of a condition called Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). PVCs are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). They may feel like a fluttering or a flip-flop in your chest. The sensation can be triggered by certain activities, emotions, or medications. To help manage your symptoms and reduce the occurrence of PVCs, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as **Propranolol (Inderal)** at a dosage of 10-30 mg three to four times a day. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the frequency of PVCs. Additionally, you can try to reduce stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend additional tests such as a Holter monitor or an event monitor to capture your heart's activity over an extended period. This will help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, try to avoid triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, which can exacerbate PVCs. Stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and get regular exercise to support your heart health. If you experience severe chest pain, dizziness, or fainting spells, seek immediate medical attention.

I've been having this chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about three months now. I got an X-ray and a CT scan with contrast done, and I've already shown the reports to a pulmonologist three times. He suggested I talk to an orthopedic specialist. I did, but all I got was some painkillers, and they haven't helped at all. Could you please advise me on what might be going on or what I should do next?
Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
