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."

Ive been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?
Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.

My brother just went through open heart surgery last month, and now he's been battling pneumonia for two weeks. He's been admitted to the ICU due to breathing issues. They did an ECG and discovered his heart function is down to 24. I'm really worried, and I'm wondering if we could take him on an 11-hour flight to the USA to address this situation. What do you think?
severe heart dysfunction, pt needs cardiologist opinion .
