I'm experiencing this weird vibration-like sensation in the upper left side of my chest that's been going on for a couple of days. Initially, I thought it was just acidity, but its been almost 45 days now. Any idea whats causing this and how I can fix it quickly?

Can you have a look at this EKG for me? I've been having a really tough time with chest discomfort that spreads to my left arm, back, and abdomen. Went to the ER and they did an EKG; the heart doctor said it was normal. They sent me home with meds for acidity and anxiety, but Im feeling even worse now, like it might be a heart attack. So I went to another hospital where they did another ECG, but no cardiologist checked it. Im having body shivers and tremors but no chills. My stomach's also upset, with loose motions a lot because of IBS and GERD, and I ate chocolates today which are the worst for GERD. Should I get a troponin test done? Its really expensivecan I skip it? Any advice would be helpful.
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to rule out a heart attack as a cause of your chest discomfort. Given the persistent symptoms and the radiating pain to your left arm, back, and abdomen, along with the shivering and tremors, it would be advisable to go ahead with the Troponin test to assess for any cardiac damage. This test can help determine if there has been any injury to the heart muscles. It is a crucial test in cases of suspected heart attack. In the meantime, continue taking the acidity and anxiety medications prescribed to you. Additionally, avoid trigger foods like chocolates that can exacerbate your GERD symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly

I've been having a tough time over the past couple of years with losing my job and family issues. Lately, I've been feeling this crushing sensation in my chest at times. A few years back, I was told I have mild mitral valve prolapse, but I never started any medication for it. I feel mild pain sometimes, but it never lasts more than two weeks. I'm trying to figure out if this chest pain is because of stress or my MVP. Ive also been feeling really down and anxious, especially at night, often ending up in tears. Some people close to me think I might have some psychological issues. What should I do?
It sounds like you are going through a lot of stress and emotional turmoil. The chest pain you are experiencing could be related to both stress and your history of mild mitral valve prolapse. It is important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. For the chest pain related to mitral valve prolapse, you should consult with a doctor to determine if any medication or treatment is necessary. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. To address the stress and emotional issues you are facing, it would be beneficial to seek therapy or counseling to help you cope with your feelings of depression and anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can also be helpful in managing stress. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an antidepressant such as sertraline at a low dose to help with your depressive symptoms. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you. Remember to prioritize self-care, reach out to supportive friends and family members, and consider joining a support group to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. Take care of yourself and know that it is okay to seek help when needed.
