I'm experiencing some mild pain in my upper chest on both sides and also in my upper back, and sometimes even in the lower part of my chest. I went to the doctor yesterday, and he did an ECG, which came back normal. My oxygen level is 97, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every 10 minutes or so, and Im not sure why. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm experiencing some chest pain right in the center, and it's been going on for about 3 days now. I'm having a tough time breathing when I move or lie down, especially on my left side, but it's not as bad when I sit or lie on my back. I'm also feeling kind of gassy in my stomach and it's making me really confused. I've tried taking 3 ranitidine pills already, but there's still no improvement. Could this be something serious? Can you help figure out what's going on?

My mother-in-law had a stent procedure about 10 days ago, and she's been experiencing fever and chills on and off. Is this something to be concerned about?

Fever and chills after a stent procedure could be a sign of infection. It is important to monitor her closely and contact her healthcare provider immediately. She may need antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to treat the infection. The dosage would typically be 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days.

I'm having this tender chest pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's getting me worried. I did an ECG, and everything seemed fine. My TMT test was negative too, which was a relief at first. But now, I'm sometimes feeling short of breath and there's a pain in my left hand. I even had a CT Coronary Angiography last year that showed normal results. What could be going on? Could you help me figure this out?
