I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?

I'm 32 and weigh 45 kg, and I've been experiencing frequent breathlessness and sometimes chest pain. My doctor recommended some tests like an ECG, an echocardiogram, and a blood test. I'm really worried because I've heard that getting an echocardiogram might not be safe for the heart. I'm scared of going through with it. What should I do?

Echocardiogram is a safe and commonly used test to assess the structure and function of the heart. It uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart, allowing doctors to see how well the heart is pumping blood and detect any abnormalities. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing various heart conditions. In your case, since you are experiencing symptoms like breathlessness and chest pain, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further testing. The information obtained from the echocardiogram, along with the other tests like ECG and blood test, will help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for you. There is no need to be afraid of the echocardiogram test as it is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve any radiation exposure. It is important to follow through with the recommended tests to ensure your heart health is properly evaluated.
