I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?

Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?
There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I've noticed that as a young adult female, sometimes my resting heart rate drops to around 48 or 49 beats per minute. Normally, it sits between 60 and 70. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm really concerned about this condition called cough syncope. What kind of tests are usually done to confirm it? How can I be sure if what I'm experiencing is actually cough syncope?
To confirm a diagnosis of cough syncope, the following tests may be helpful: Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test can help rule out any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the syncope. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart and can help evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. It can help detect any irregular heart rhythms that may be associated with cough syncope. Tilt table test: This test involves being tilted at different angles to see if changes in position trigger syncope. Blood tests: These can help rule out other potential causes of syncope, such as anemia or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate tests needed for an accurate diagnosis of cough syncope.
