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 allMy mom keeps mentioning that she's experiencing chest and back pain off and on. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could there be any specific reasons for these symptoms that we should look into?
Chest pain and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some common causes include musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or inflammation. However, more serious conditions like heart problems (such as angina or a heart attack), lung issues (such as pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism), or gastrointestinal problems (such as acid reflux or gallbladder issues) could also be the cause. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

I'm a bit worried because even after testing negative for COVID, my pulse rate is still high, around 103-104. Yesterday, I started feeling some pain in my left arm, so I got an ECG done. It showed something called sinus tachycardia, which I guess isn't normal. My blood pressure is 14090, and I've started taking Ecospirin 75mg. Is this something I should be concerned about?
After recovering from COVID-19, experiencing a continuous elevated pulse rate (sinus tachycardia) and pain in your left arm warrants attention. An abnormal ECG and a BP reading of 14090 mmHg suggest that further evaluation is necessary. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors, including lingering effects of the virus, dehydration, stress, or other underlying conditions. Ecospirin (aspirin) 75 mg can help reduce the risk of clotting, but it's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure appropriate management. Additional tests such as blood work, echocardiogram, or a Holter monitor might be needed. Please consult your healthcare provider promptly for a comprehensive evaluation.
