I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allIve been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?
Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.

I'm a bit worried after getting my ECG results back. It mentions something about 'Borderline T abnormalities' in the interior leads, and I'm really not sure what that means. Do you think this might indicate a heart problem? I've got my ECG results attached, if that helps.
Borderline T abnormalities in the interior leads of an ECG can indicate a possible minor issue with the electrical activity in the heart. It may not necessarily indicate a serious problem, but it is important to monitor and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In some cases, it could be a normal variant for some individuals. There is no specific medication required for Borderline T abnormalities on an ECG. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption to support heart health. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to monitor your heart condition are also recommended.

I've had several EKGs, and they keep showing I have inverted T wave lines. Ive also done a few stress tests, which were said to be normal. But then I ended up in the ER with chest pain, and the doctor there said I need a heart cath because my stress tests werent completely normal. One doctor says they're normal, and another one disagrees. I'm only 45 years old, and I'm just wondering if a heart cath is really necessary. I've got an appointment with a cardiologist in 9 days, and I'm feeling a bit nervous about all this. What do you think?
ECHO is advised for further management.
