I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

I'm experiencing some mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness occasionally. Ive done an ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT. The cardiologist said my heart is fine and prescribed me T. Gemcal for 30 days, T. Etoshine MR for 5 days, and T. Pan D for 5 days. The ECG results show NRM and WNL, and the 2D Echo is normal. Ive attached the TMT report here. Could you take a look and let me know what you think?

"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have been experiencing mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness. Your Cardiologist has ruled out any heart issues based on the ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT reports. You have been prescribed the following medications: 1. T. Gemcal - Take it for 30 days for your bone health. 2. T. Etoshine MR - Take it for 5 days for pain relief. 3. T. Pan D - Take it for 5 days for acidity or gastritis. It's good that your heart tests came back normal. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for a follow-up evaluation."

I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

take one pain killer and one antacid

I've been experiencing this sharp, pricking pain in my chest for about a week, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It doesn't stay in one spot and sometimes it's on the left, sometimes on the right, near the left breast, or even below the shoulder. I got both an ECG and an echo, and they both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Any idea what might be going on?
