I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?

I'm 27 and have had no bad habits. For the last eight months, I've been experiencing these quick chest pains on the left side; they just last about 5 to 15 seconds, and they come and go. I've been to the cardiologist and had around 20 ECGs, an echo, and a lipid profile done, and everything came back normal. The thing is, I don't feel any pain during heavy work, just at random times. I'm worried and wondering if this is a heart issue or maybe something physiological? Also, at home, my heart rate is slow, but as soon as I enter the hospital and the tension hits, my heart rate spikes. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of non-cardiac chest pain, especially since your cardiology checkups including ECG, echo, and lipid profile have come back normal. Non-cardiac chest pain can be caused by issues such as muscle strain, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. Since your symptoms have been ongoing for eight months and are not related to heavy work, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. To help with the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help with episodes of high heart rate related to tension. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
