I've been experiencing this heavy feeling in my chest, and sometimes there's a little pain too. It's been going on for about a month now, maybe 34 days. I haven't really had any medical issues before this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

View allI'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I'm really worried about something I came across in my medical report it mentions 'abnormal BR wave progression.' Is this something serious or dangerous? What steps should I consider taking to address or monitor this?
Abnormal ECG findings like abnormal R wave progression can indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of this abnormality. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers like Metoprolol or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition.

I've been having this thing where my chest hurts for just a second or two, and then I feel okay again, but it keeps happening. It's like every 45 minutes or so, especially after I eat or drink. I'm not really sure what's going on, and it's starting to worry me. What do you think I should do about it?
Intermittent chest pain can be concerning. Given your symptoms, here are some possible explanations and advice: *Possible Causes* 1. *Acid Reflux*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain, especially after eating or drinking. 2. *Digestive Issues*: Swallowing air, eating too quickly, or having an underlying digestive condition like IBS can lead to chest pain. 3. *Musculoskeletal Issues*: Tight muscles or inflammation in the chest wall can cause brief, sharp pains. *What to Do* 1. *Stay Calm*: Your symptoms don't appear to be life-threatening, but it's essential to monitor them. 2. *Monitor Your Symptoms*: Keep a journal to track when the chest pain occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Trigger Foods*: If you suspect acid reflux, try avoiding trigger foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and spicy or fatty foods. 4. *Antacids or Acid Reducers*: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate acid reflux symptoms. 5. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe Chest Pain*: If your chest pain becomes severe, lasts longer than a few seconds, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, dizziness, or a cold sweat, seek immediate medical attention.
