I've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

So my left atrium size is 5.6 cm, and my doctor says my heart is alright, but I'm not sure how that is possible. On top of it, I'm having trouble with dyspnea when I exert myself. Could someone help explain what's going on?

It is possible for your doctor to determine that your heart is functioning normally despite the enlarged left atrium (LA) size. However, experiencing dyspnea on exertion is a concerning symptom that should be further evaluated. In this case, you may benefit from medication such as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50 mg daily) to help with your symptoms. Additionally, a diuretic like Furosemide (20-40 mg daily) may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup and alleviate the dyspnea. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
