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.

View allI'm really worried because my recent test showed high levels of homocysteine, about 10 points above the upper range. I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that might help with this. Can you offer any advice or suggestions?
High homocysteine means that your blood is thicker and because of smoke or smoking or because of dusty environment so stop smoking or else your blood will be thicker and you will have high chances of blockage in your blood vessels

I'm feeling really confused about something. My ECG says I have LAD, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and both my echo and TMT came back normal. I haven't been diagnosed with LAH, BLBB, or LVH. So, why would I have LAD? I've attached my ECG if that helps. Can someone explain what's going on here?
Based on the information provided and the attached ECG, it appears that you have been diagnosed with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery involvement. In this case, it is important to focus on managing your cardiovascular health. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further artery blockage. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
