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?

View allI've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?
If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

I've been wondering about how long it might take for the heart to heal after getting a stent in the main artery at age 48. If the person isnt an alcoholic or diabetic, follows a vegetarian diet, eats very little fast food, but does consume dairy products like curd, malai, and cream, would this kind of lifestyle impact their recovery time? I'm just trying to figure out what factors might affect the healing process.
For most people, stent implantation recovery is fairly quick, with initial healing taking about 4 to 6 weeks and full recovery occurring over the course of 3 to 6 months. Since the person in question has a generally healthy lifestyle and no major risk factors, their recovery should be smooth, but they will still need to follow their cardiologists advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication. Its essential to maintain a healthy diet, continue taking prescribed medications, and regularly follow up with the cardiologist. The doctor will provide personalized advice on when to resume more intense activities, based on progress.
