I'm experiencing some chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath. The pain also seems to radiate to my back. I'm having trouble sleeping because of the discomfort in both my chest and back. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

View allI'm having this chest pain thats been bothering me for a few weeks now. It's mostly in the center but kinda leans more to the left side. It feels like a dull ache, quite like back pain, but its on the outer wall of the chest. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor thinks it might just be a muscle strain. But how can I really know for sure it's muscle strain and not something more serious?
It is muscle sore , take anti inflammatory tablets like aceclofenaca . You will be fine

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.
During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.

I'm 22 and my resting heart rate is 112. Is this something I should be worried about? I haven't had any cholesterol or high blood pressure issues, and there aren't any heart problems in my past either.
Yes it's usually normal at your age no need to worry if it's causing any other symptoms like palpitations,chest pain,SOB, visit Physician for evaluation and treatment
