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 a bit worried after my father's 2D echo report came back. It mentions "IVS jerky movement trace TR LVEF 50." Does this sound normal, or should I be concerned about anything specific?

Echo report is abnormal, advised cardiac markers and angiogram for further management..Cardiologist opinion.

I've been having this uncomfortable pain just below my left breast, and it's only on one side. I've started working out recently. Could this just be muscle pain from exercising, or should I be worried about something else?

The pain you are experiencing below your left breast could be musculoskeletal in nature due to your workout routine. However, it is important to rule out any other potential causes such as costochondritis or even cardiac issues. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for muscle pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and avoiding strenuous exercise that exacerbates the pain may also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
