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 allI've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?
Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I did ECG, echo, TMT, and a CT angiography back in November 2021, and everything turned out normal back then. But now I'm dealing with chest pain again from time to time, and I've got some acidity issues too. I'm wondering, is it necessary for me to repeat those tests? If so, how long should I wait before doing them again?
In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain again along with acidity issues, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation. The doctor may recommend medications to manage your acidity and chest pain symptoms. For acidity, you can take antacids like Omeprazole 20mg once a day before breakfast. For chest pain, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up with your doctor may be necessary for a reassessment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with pain in his left arm for over six years now, and at first, he was diagnosed just with hypertension. But after some more tests, they found out he has angina. The doctor recommended he take medication for about 23 weeks and then get an angiography. I'm wondering if we definitely need to go through with the angiography, or is there another way to handle this? And how serious is his condition?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the need for angiography, as it is a procedure that can provide valuable information about the condition of the heart and blood vessels. In the meantime, to manage angina, your father can take medications such as Nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Aspirin and Beta-blockers can help reduce the workload on the heart and prevent further complications. It is important to continue monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well. Angina is a serious condition that requires proper management and monitoring to prevent complications such as heart attack.
