I'm feeling really concerned about some symptoms I've been having lately. There's this persistent pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm, and it's been going on for about four months now. I did a TMT test three months ago and it came back negative, but I'm still worried. I got my ECG and Echo done a few days ago and was told it's anxiety. Could you take a look at the results I've attached and let me know what you think?

"Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it seems like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected areas. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the pain persists, you should follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management."

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?

I'm experiencing this weird issue where I sometimes feel short of breath, especially at night when I'm lying down. It doesn't happen often, but it's definitely a bit concerning when it does. I don't have any other symptoms going on. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really concerned about my dad's blood pressure. He's been dealing with high BP for a while, but it was stable and normal the past few days. Today it shot up to 153110 and he took his usual Tazlock 20, which has Telmisartan IP in it. Is this something we should be really worried about and what steps should we take from here?
