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.

View allI'm 29 and just had some tests done, including an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the results came back normal, but there was a note in my ECHO report about "LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2." My cardiologist said it's normal and nothing to worry about, but I'm still a bit concerned. I don't smoke or drink and I'm not overweight. I did some Googling and found different explanations about that note, which is making me a bit anxious. I also didn't sleep well only about 4 hours the night before the tests and wore double masks during them. Could any of that have impacted the results? Just want to make sure there's nothing I should be concerned about.
"Based on your description, it seems like you are concerned about the comment in your ECHO report regarding LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2. Your cardiologist has reassured you that it is normal and nothing to worry about, which is a good sign. LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 indicates some stiffness in the left ventricle of your heart during the relaxation phase, but it is a common finding and may not necessarily indicate any serious issues. Considering your age, lifestyle habits, and the fact that all your other tests (ECG, TMT) are normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Factors such as inadequate sleep and wearing double masks during the tests could have influenced the results slightly. To further support your heart health, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. If you have any specific symptoms or concerns in the future, do not hesitate to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. No specific medication is required for LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 at this stage. Just continue with your healthy habits and follow up with your cardiologist as recommended for routine check-ups."

I've been taking cardace 2.5 mg after consulting with Dr. Anand Chopda on August 17th. I've been monitoring my readings every morning before taking the tablet, and they are as follows: Aug 19 - 11277, Aug 20 - 11888, Aug 21 - 11883, Aug 22 - 13385, Aug 23 - 13195, Aug 24 - 12693, Aug 25 - 11773. Should I keep taking the cardace at this dosage, or is there a need for adjustment? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers. Any advice on this?
