I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

I'm feeling really anxious because I experienced this sharp pain in my left chest that lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Along with that, there's this heaviness in my chest that's been bothering me. I just got my ECG results, and it mentioned an 800 sinus rhythm and a 401 short PR interval. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? Should I be worried about this?

While the sinus rhythm on your ECG is normal, the short PR interval requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of chest pain and heaviness are concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away. Please do not delay in seeking medical attention to ensure that any potential issues, including heart-related conditions, are addressed promptly.

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?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

My mom had a CABG surgery back in 2013, and now her recent ECG shows something called left atrial abnormality. I'm a bit worried about what this means for her. How serious is this condition, and is it something that can be managed with medication?
