I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

I'm experiencing mild chest and back pain, and it's been going on for a week now. The pain gets really intense whenever I bend my neck down. Can this be related to a heart problem? Should I be worried?

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with my chest. I've got this back pain, and it feels like there's tightness there too. Initially, it was on the right side, lower down, but now I feel it on the left side, just above my stomach. It's not exactly painful, more like a feeling of tightness. I've also been having some heartburn. Should I be concerned about this, and what might it be?

I'm a little worried because my Perfusion Index (PI) is consistently over 20, sometimes hitting 21, when I check my oxygen saturation with my oximeter. My saturation level is normal, between 95 and 99, and so is my heart rate. But I'm not sure if a high PI is indicative of any serious health conditions, or if it's a sign that the oximeter might be inaccurate. Could you provide some guidance on whether a high PI should be a concern, or if it's something I shouldn't worry too much about?
