I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

View allI'm dealing with this chest pain that's right in the middle of my chest, and its been going on for the last two months. Sometimes its regular, sometimes its not. It gets really painful when I bend to pick something up from the ground, and the pain even shoots to my back. Can you help me out? What might be causing this?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. However, considering the pain worsening with movement, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. You can try taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Diclofenac (Voltaren) gel on the affected area. It is also advisable to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my hs-CRP levels because they came back at 1 mgL. Is that considered high for my age? I'm wondering how I can lower it. Also, I noticed my CRP level is only 0.13 mgdL, which seems good. How often should I be checking these, along with my lipid profile?
"Hs-CRP level of 1 mgl is considered to be low risk for cardiovascular disease. To reduce it further, you can consider incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medications like Atorvastatin 10mg daily can also help lower hs-CRP levels. For your CRP level of 0.13 mgdl, it is within the normal range. To maintain this level, continue with a healthy lifestyle. As for how often to repeat these tests along with lipid profile, it is generally recommended to repeat them annually for routine monitoring, unless your doctor advises otherwise based on your individual health status."

I've been experiencing this weird sensation in the middle of my chest after I do just 10 minutes of exercise. It's not really painful, but it feels like a squeezing. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? I'm a bit worried.
take one pain killer and antacid if it reduces pain then its ok. Otherwise do one ECG
