I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I've been having this chest pain right in the center for the past 3 years, mostly when I'm exerting myself like lifting heavy stuff, climbing stairs, or riding in a fast-moving vehicle. I've had a coronary angiogram, and it came back normal. My echo is also normal. I've noticed my stomach bloats when this happens. Could this be related to a heart issue or is it more of an anxiety thing? The pain usually goes away when I rest. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can sometimes present with chest pain and bloating. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief of your symptoms. Additionally, you can try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side, right above my heart. It happened for a few minutes, but then it went back to normal. The same thing occurred about six months ago. I'm a bit concerned and would love to get your suggestions on what might be going on and how I can deal with this issue.

Based on your description of chest pain above the heart that comes and goes, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the pain is brief and has occurred before, it could be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is advised.
