I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.
