I've been feeling some chest discomfort lately and it's got me a bit worried. Back in 2013, I had an angiography after a positive TMT test, but everything was perfectly clear then. Now, my TMT test has come back positive again. I'm wondering what steps I should take next. Do you think I might need another angiography, or is there another approach I should consider?

If you are experiencing chest discomfort and your TMT test has come back positive again, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Another angiography may be recommended to assess the current status of your coronary arteries and determine the appropriate treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help manage your symptoms.

I've been having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?

I'm experiencing this dull pain on the left side of my chest, kind of between the center of my left chest rib and going up towards my left shoulder. It's been happening for about 3 days now, and it gets worse when I lean forward or round my shoulders, but sometimes when I stretch my left shoulder back, it feels a bit better for a while. I dont think its acidity because I dont have issues with that, and Ive never had high blood pressure or heart problems. What could be causing this pain?

Based on your description, the dull pain you are experiencing on the left side of your chest that worsens with certain movements could be musculoskeletal in nature. It may be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall or shoulder muscles. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant such as **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg twice a day for a few days to help relieve the pain and discomfort. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel containing **Diclofenac** to the affected area can also provide relief. Remember to avoid activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture to prevent further strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
