I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?

I'm 32 and I noticed my heart rate hit 140 before I was even stressed, and during the second and third stages, it jumped up to between 190 and 202. My ECG came back normal otherwise. Should I be worried that this is risky for my heart or something serious? Is it possible for it to get back to normal with medication? Could this kind of change shorten the life of my heart? What kind of treatment or solution should I be looking into?

The ultrasound report indicates a PCO (Polycystic Ovary) pattern in both ovaries. This means multiple small cysts are present, a common finding in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). No abnormal solid or cystic lesions were detected, which is reassuring. Ovarian size is within normal range (33x18mm). Consult a gynecologist to discuss the report and determine next steps. Further evaluation may be necessary to confirm or rule out PCOS.

I've had this chest pain for like 10 days now, and my ECG came back normal, which is good I guess? But I'm on these meds like mild TR and taking aceclofenac paracetamol tablets. Could you explain what's going on with my chest pain? Is it something I should be worried about? And is there anything else you think I should be doing?

do ECHO once if chest pain persists

I'm thinking about doing a TMT in a week since I've had hyper acidity issues. I've already done tests like a thyroid profile, ECG, and echo, and everything came back normal. A friend suggested I should consider a TMT as well. Do you think there's a chance it might show something positive?

A TMT (Treadmill Test) is commonly used to assess the heart's response to stress and can help diagnose coronary artery disease. Given that your thyroid profile, ECG, and echo are normal, the chances of a positive TMT result are lower. However, it is still important to proceed with the TMT as advised. If you experience hyperacidity during the test, you can take antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg before the test to help manage the symptoms.
