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 chest pain when I walk or go up stairs, so I got a CT angiography done. The report shows I have myocardial bridging of the proximal LAD, about 1.8 cm long. The doctor said not to worry and that no treatment is needed, but the pain on my left side isn't going away. Can you help me understand what this all means and what I should do next?
Since you are experiencing persistent chest pain despite the reassurance from your doctor, it may be helpful to consider medication to help manage your symptoms. You can try taking a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, under the guidance of your doctor. The usual starting dose for Diltiazem is 120 mg to 180 mg per day, taken in divided doses. This medication can help relax the smooth muscle in the walls of your coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle, potentially reducing chest pain associated with your condition. However, please consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?
The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.

I recently got over Covid, testing negative on May 5th, 2021. Now, I've started experiencing some post-Covid symptoms like shortness of breath and a faster heartbeat. I had a Lipid Profile test done, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are high. I'm feeling a bit better now, but my doctor suggested I take some meds like Anleo DSR, Korandil 5, Montek AB, Vitoxy Plus, and Rozavel A for a month. Is it safe for me to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on these medications?
