I'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?

Based on your symptoms of left hand cramp, chest pain, and left arm pain, along with a normal ECG result and slightly elevated heart rate possibly due to stress, it is important to consider muscle relaxants and pain relievers. You can take acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine 5mg to help with the hand cramp. It is important to take these medications as directed on the packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional

View allI'm experiencing this weird chest and left arm discomfort whenever I hear music with strong vibrations. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm also feeling short of breath with some chest pain. I've had tests on my heart and lungs, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Since your heart and lung tests are normal, it's important to manage your symptoms. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a sharp, current-like pain whenever I'm doing household chores or lifting my child. It lasts for a few minutes. I've had an ECG and an echo done, and both came back normal. I'm really struggling to get things done around the house because of this pain. Any idea what it might be or what I can do about it?

I got an ECG done yesterday and it shows a slight ST depression in V3. Should I be concerned about this? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable on the extreme left side of my chest, which is why I went for the ECG in the first place. There aren't any other pains or symptoms bothering me. By the way, I took the test about 40 minutes after finishing a workout at the gym - would that have any impact on the results?
Slight ST depression on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if you have no other symptoms. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and the timing of the ECG after a workout, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend you take a low dose of Aspirin 75mg for now to prevent any clot formation and consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
