I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?

It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?
Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.
