I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

My triglycerides are at 410, and I recently had an ultrasound that mentioned something about an 800 normal sinus rhythm and a 611 T Abnormalityflat T. Should I be worried about this 611 T abnormality flat T thing? The doctor didn't give me any meds for it, is that normal? Could you explain a bit about what my ultrasound results mean and whether I should get a second opinion?

I'm 26 and I've been having anxiety symptoms. A couple of months ago, I experienced episodes of sinus tachycardia, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with ST and T wave depression in leads II, III, and AVF. I've had more ECGs since then with similar results, but my 2D echo was normal. My doctor suggested a TMT, which returned borderline positive with a low likelihood of significant CAD. During the TMT, METS was 8.8, BP was 15080, and the max heart rate was 187. I didn't feel any chest pain during the exercise. Do you think an angiogram is necessary, and what could be causing those ST and T wave changes?

Angiogram is needed any heart blocks..
