I'm dealing with this strange chest pain situation on my left side. It's kind of like a sharp electric shock that lasts for about 12 seconds, then it's just gone. The spot where it happens is almost always the same, and it's been randomly showing up and disappearing for the last 10 days. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

This type of chest pain could be indicative of a condition called costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with chest pain for the last 2 years. I've had all kinds of tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and even a CT Coronary Angiography, and they all came back normal. But my blood test results are a bit concerning. My high sensitivity C Reactive protein is at 9.7 mgL, lipoprotein A is 35.09 mgdL, Lipase is 63.6 UL, SGOT is 70.9 UI, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. These numbers have gone up compared to my earlier tests. The chest pain is really troubling me the most. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?
Given your elevated blood test values, it is important to further investigate the cause of your chest pain. The increased sensitivity C Reactive Protein (CRP) level indicates inflammation in the body, which may be related to your symptoms. Considering your symptoms and blood test results, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of underlying inflammatory conditions such as costochondritis or musculoskeletal issues. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for chest pain relief. However, it is crucial to address the root cause of your symptoms through further evaluation and management. I hope this information helps.

I'm Manoj and I'm 30 years old. I've been taking Rozavel F because I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. My LDL is 147, HDL is 32, and triglycerides are 240. I recently had an ECG, and the results showed a borderline ECG and an anteroseptal T wave abnormality that's non-specific. Should I be concerned about these findings? What steps should I take next?
