I've been having chest and upper back pain for about 34 months now. I've done the ECG twice, and the results were normal, and my X-ray showed nothing unusual. But the pain keeps spreading more and more each day and can start or stop at any time. I don't have cough, fever, or vomiting or anything like that. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I'm trying to understand what it means when an ECG shows a probable normal early repolarization pattern with ST elevation. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it usually considered benign?

My mom had an angioplasty about a month and a half ago and shes got a stent now. Just wondering, she started having this itchiness and rash on her calves last week which is a bit better now. Could this be some sort of reaction to the stent or maybe the meds? And if it is, is there anything we can do to help ease it?
