I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?

If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

So lately I've been experiencing this weird needle-like pain around my chest. It only sticks around for a few seconds and then just vanishes. But what really worries me is this constant pain I'm feeling in my back between the shoulder blades. It's just not going away. What could this be? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
"Based on your description of needle-like pain around the chest area that comes and goes, along with constant pain at the back between the shoulder blades, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of musculoskeletal pain or nerve irritation. To help alleviate the chest pain, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. For the constant back pain, you can try Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for inflammation and pain. Additionally, applying a heating pad to the back area may also provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional."
