I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

View allI've been having this regular pain on the left side of my chest for about a week now, and after getting some cardiac tests done, they mentioned things like Sinus bradycardia with Sinus arrhythmia and Hyperacute T waves. I'm having some breathlessness too, but my heartbeat is at 58. The TIPI probability of ACI came out as 9. I'm really hoping you could help me understand what all of this means and if it's something I should be really worried about. Would love some guidance on this!
kindly visit a cardiologist

I'm a bit worried because I recently experienced a sudden increase in my heart rate, and when I got an ECG, it showed something called an ST abnormality. I'm wondering, is this a cause for concern? Does it often show up on ECGs, or should I be more alarmed about it?
ST abnormalities in an ECG can indicate various cardiac conditions. It is important to determine the specific type of ST abnormality (e.g. ST elevation or ST depression) and its location on the ECG. ST abnormalities can be seen in conditions such as myocardial infarction, angina, pericarditis, myocarditis, or electrolyte imbalances. Given your sudden increase in heart rate and the presence of ST abnormalities on your ECG, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. Depending on the severity and type of ST abnormality, treatment may include medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, or interventions like angioplasty or surgery. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
