I'm feeling a bit worried about a sensation I have in the middle of my chest, like something might be blocked. A few days ago, there was pain, but now it's just this light pressure, especially when I lay down. I also have this discomfort in my left breast, like something is blocked, but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. Could this be something serious, like a blood clot in my lungs or pulmonary embolism, or maybe myocarditis? The weird part is that exercise or taking a deep breath doesn't seem to bother it, but laying down sometimes makes me feel this fullness or pressure. What could it be?

It is important to evaluate your symptoms further to determine the underlying cause of your chest discomfort. The sensation of something being blocked in the middle of your chest, along with pressure and discomfort in the left breast, could be due to various reasons. While it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis without a physical examination and additional tests, the symptoms you described could potentially be related to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), musculoskeletal issues, or even anxiety. Given that you do not experience worsening symptoms with exercise or deep breathing, it is less likely to be related to a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) or myocarditis. However, it is still important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination, imaging studies, and possibly an ECG to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter antacids for possible GERD symptoms and practicing relaxation techniques to help with anxiety-related symptoms.

View allI'm really worried about my husband. About eight months ago, he had some chest pain, so we went for a check-up. They did an ECG, an echo, and a stress test, and thankfully everything seemed normal, but he had high blood pressure and his triglycerides were around 250. He's been on medication for BP since then, including Prolomet XL 50, Hytel H, Tonact D, and Nulong 5mg. But just yesterday, he experienced chest pain again. We went to the doctor and did another ECG, which came back normal. The doctor said it might be muscle pain and gave him some pain medicine. I'm still worried it could be related to his heart. Should we be looking at other tests, like an echo again or something else, to be sure everything's okay with his heart?
It is good that your husband's ECG results have been normal. Since he has a history of chest pain and high triglycerides, it is important to monitor his heart health closely. Given the symptoms of chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with an echocardiogram (echo) to assess the structure and function of the heart. Additionally, considering his risk factors, a stress test or a coronary angiography may also be recommended by the doctor to further evaluate his heart health and rule out any underlying heart conditions. In the meantime, continue with the prescribed medications including Prolomet XL 50 for blood pressure, Hytel H for hypertension, Tonact D for cholesterol, and Nulong 5mg.

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?
Based on the information provided, you have Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, Good LV Systolic function, Gr II LV diastolic dysfunction, and no clotpericardial effusion. It is important to continue monitoring your condition regularly with your healthcare provider to manage your heart health effectively.
