I'm a footballer and have been experiencing mild pain in my chest and back occasionally. All tests including ECG and echo came back normal when they were done in July, but the pain hasn't really stopped and sticks around for a while. Should I consider repeating these tests? How regularly do they need to be done for someone with my level of physical activity?

Since you are experiencing mild pain in your chest and back, especially during physical activity as a footballer, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Considering your active lifestyle, it is recommended to repeat the ECG and echo tests annually to ensure there are no changes in your heart function. This regular monitoring will help in early detection of any potential issues and ensure your heart is healthy enough to support your extensive training.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past 8 months, since September. I've already done ECG, Echo, TMT, and various blood tests but everything came back normal. The pain comes and goes, but in the last few days, it's been bothering me again. On top of that, I'm experiencing body pain too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you have been experiencing left side chest pain for quite some time, despite normal results from various tests. Since the pain has started again recently and you are also experiencing body pain, it may be helpful to try a medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for chest and body pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
