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?

View allI'm a bit puzzled because my ECG and chest X-ray both came out normal, but I still occasionally get this mild chest pain that feels like it's moving around. It's not severe, but it's enough to concern me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
"Since your ECG report and CHEST PA view report are normal, the moving chest pain you are experiencing may be due to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may help alleviate any anxiety-related chest discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation."

I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?
Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
