I've been feeling some pain in the middle of my chest, right at the top, for the last couple of months, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I've also been dealing with catarrh for a few years now. Could these be related, and should I be worried about this chest pain getting worse?

I'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?

"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
