I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

I've been worried about my dad because he's been experiencing sudden bouts of heavy sweating and weakness, and this happens almost once a month or sometimes every two months. We got an ECG done, and his blood pressure seems normal according to the tests, but I'm still concerned. What might be causing these symptoms, and which specialist should we consult to make sure it's nothing serious?

These symptoms could be indicative of episodes of vasovagal syncope, which can cause sudden heavy sweating and weakness. It is important to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, your father can take Tab. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg once daily to help manage symptoms.
