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 really worried about what's happening with my health. So, I had a brain stroke about 2 months ago, and my doctor recommended getting an Echo cardiogram. The test showed something called "Reduced diastolic compliance". I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious? Should I be really concerned about it?
This means that the heart is having difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. To improve diastolic compliance, the doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a dosage of 10-20mg daily. Additionally, Beta-blockers like Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg daily may also be recommended. It is important to follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor and manage this condition.

Can you explain how to tell the difference between left arm pain caused by cervical issues and pain that's related to heart problems? I'm experiencing this dull, minor pain in my left arm that comes and goes, but I don't have any other symptoms like chest pain or lightheadedness. Could you give me some insight on this?
This type of pain may be accompanied by neck pain or stiffness. To manage this, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like Voltaren Gel on the affected area. If the pain persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation. Left arm pain due to heart issues, on the other hand, is often a symptom of a heart attack or angina. Since you mentioned no chest pain or lightheadedness, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, if you have concerns about your heart health, you can take a low dose of aspirin (81mg) as a precaution and seek medical attention immediately if the pain worsens or is accompanied by other symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or nausea.
