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 a bit concerned because my ECG showed some middling left axis deviation and my cholesterol levels aren't great either. On top of that, I've been having this back pain that seems to radiate to my hand. Could these issues be related somehow? Should I be worried about any underlying health problems connecting these symptoms? Any advice on what steps I should take next?
Based on your description of middling left axis deviation on ECG, high cholesterol levels, and radiating back pain to your hand, it is important to address these issues. For middling left axis deviation on ECG, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For high cholesterol levels, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. For your back pain radiating to your hand, you can take Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a dose of 400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from physical therapy to address the underlying cause of your back pain. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
