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 feeling my heartbeat in my stomach when I'm lying down, and it's like my stomach moves with each beat. My ECG came out normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. What steps should I take next?
This sensation could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, where you perceive your heartbeat in your abdomen. Since your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart issue. However, it is important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend you consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try managing stress and anxiety, as they can sometimes exacerbate this sensation.

So, I was wondering, while I was out trekking recently, my heart rate spiked up to 85% of what my target heart rate is, which is about 185 BPM. During this, I felt a bit of pain on the left side of my neck. Its kind of a pulsating ache, but not too intense, and it seems to improve when I rest. Is this something normal? Ive already done some tests like a blood test showing my cholesterol is in range, an ECG that came back normal with sinus tachycardia, and both an ECHO 2D and TMT that are normal. By the way, Im 26 years old. Can you shed some light on this?
Hello, based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some muscle strain or tension in your neck, especially since the pain improves with rest. However, given your normal test results and age of 26 years, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. To help with the mild pulsating pain in your left side of the neck, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area to help relax the muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated and practice good posture while trekking to prevent further strain on your neck muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation
