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.

View allI'm really worried and need to know how to use sorbitrate. Should I take it right when I start feeling heart pain, or is there some other way I should be taking it? Please help me understand the right way to use this medication.
Sorbitrate (Isosorbide Dinitrate) works quickly to relieve chest pain caused by angina. It is usually taken at the first sign of chest pain. The usual dosage is 2.5 to 5 mg sublingually (under the tongue) and may be repeated every 5 minutes for a maximum of 3 doses. It is important to follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Remember to seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain persists or worsens after taking Sorbitrate.

Sir, I'm 27 and have no bad habits like drinking or smoking, but my weight is 80 kg. For the past year, I've experienced daily pain in my left chest. Throughout this time, I've had 20 ECGs, 2 echocardiograms, and a TMT that was negative. My troponin levels are normal, along with a normal chest X-ray, random blood sugar, renal function tests, and thyroid function tests. My blood pressure is high at 16298, so I'm on Telma 20 tablets. Six months ago, my lipid profile was normal too. Why do I keep getting this pain in my left chest? It's causing me a lot of anxiety, and I worry about dying. I even got an ECG yesterday and attached the pic. Is there any other test I should consider for this pain?
The tests you have done so far indicate that your heart and other vital organs are functioning normally. Since your chest pain has been persisting for a year and you have already undergone multiple tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. One potential reason for your chest pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen for your chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may help alleviate any anxiety-related chest discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider consulting with a specialist such as a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. They may suggest additional tests or imaging studies based on their clinical assessment. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to support your overall well-being. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, do not hesitate to seek medical advice promptly.

I'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?
Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.
