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?

Is it okay to use hot water steam for a cough if I've just had an angioplasty? I'm worried about whether the steam could affect the stent, especially since it's only been a week since the procedure. Would it be safe to try this, or should I avoid it?
Taking hot water steam for cough after Angioplasty is generally safe, as it can help to soothe the throat and loosen mucus. However, it is important to avoid inhaling steam directly through the nose, as this can potentially irritate the nasal passages and sinuses. As for the stent, steam inhalation is unlikely to have any direct effect on the stent itself. Just make sure to keep a safe distance from the hot water to prevent any burns.

I'm really concerned about this numbness in my left hand and the anxiety I'm feeling. I went to see my doctor, who suggested I visit a cardiologist. After doing a 2D echo, the cardiologist mentioned something about a dilated LV, and it's got me really stressed out. What does dilated LV mean? Should I be worried about it?
it is concerning to hear about your symptoms and the findings on your 2D echo report showing dilated left ventricle (LV). In this case, the cardiologist may prescribe medications to help with the condition. One common medication for dilated LV is Carvedilol, starting at a low dose of 3.125 mg twice daily and gradually increasing as tolerated. This medication can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Additionally, the cardiologist may recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to support heart health. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed
