I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side, right above my heart. It happened for a few minutes, but then it went back to normal. The same thing occurred about six months ago. I'm a bit concerned and would love to get your suggestions on what might be going on and how I can deal with this issue.

Based on your description of chest pain above the heart that comes and goes, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the pain is brief and has occurred before, it could be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is advised.

View allMy 14-year-old sister's been having these sharp pains in her left arm and chest. Sometimes her back hurts too, and even her jaw is in pain. I'm really worried about what might be going on. What should I do?
It sounds like your sister may be experiencing symptoms that could be related to a heart issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Aspirin 325mg to chew, which can help in case of a heart-related emergency. Encourage her to rest and stay calm while waiting for medical help to arrive.

I recently got my routine health checkup results back, and the ECG report mentioned something about "ST-segment elevation lateral" and "borderline ECG." I'm not really sure what that means, and it's got me a bit worried. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or just a minor issue?
ST-segment elevation on an ECG can indicate a potential heart issue, such as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The lateral aspect refers to the left side of the heart. A borderline ECG means that the findings are not definitively abnormal but may warrant further investigation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been feeling some tightness in my chest lately and it's making me a bit anxious, especially since I'm about to start a new job soon. I recently got an ECG done, and it mentions "LARGED PTFv1" which has me worried. My blood pressure was within normal range over the past couple of months, usually around 12080 or 12090, and my echo from last year was fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?
