I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm a 23-year-old guy experiencing some weird chest pains that also hit my shoulders, arms, back, and even my abdomen. It's like a burning pain that moves around, and I'm worried because it's not constant. I went to the doctor, and they said my ECG is normal, but I still don't know what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of musculoskeletal pain or nerve irritation. To help with the pain in your chest, arms, shoulders, and back, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas for relief. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my heart rate is around 60 to 55 when I'm lying down. Is this something I should worry about? I've been having mild pain on both sides of my chest, which feels like muscle pain, and it comes and goes. I had an ECG in May, and it was normal, and I just had a Chest CT scan, which also came back normal. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this, or should I look into it further?
It's good that your ECG and Chest CT scan results are normal. Your heart rate of 55-60 while lying down is within the normal range for adults. The mild chest pain you are experiencing could be musculoskeletal in nature. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas. Make sure to practice good posture and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
