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 really concerned about my heart health. Although my heartbeat is normal, I've been experiencing light body shakes. My breathing seems fine, but I can't help but worry about potential heart problems. What could be causing this?

To rule out cardiac issues. Get a ECG and 2D echocardiography done. If they are normal then get a TMT stress echo done.. If they are also normal then you have nothing to worry from heart side Meanwhile take Tab. Flexon Mr twice a day for 5 days Cap. Pantocid DSR 40 mg before meals twice a day for 5
