Question 1

I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?

Question 2

I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I stood up quickly and felt a sharp pain in my chest for just a second, and then a few seconds after that, I got chest pain that lasted for about 5 minutes. Could this be something to do with my heart?

I'm really worried about this heart murmur that was detected during my TB treatment. I completed 9 months of medication, and an echo test came back normal. But the heart murmur is still being detected. Could the TB meds be causing this? It all started when I began taking them. What should I do?

Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.
