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.

I'm dealing with some really scary chest pain right in the middle and opposite of my back and it's making it hard to breathe and I feel so weak. We're in complete lockdown here and I saw a pulmonologist a couple of months ago who put me on some meds like Azithral 500, Digihaler FB200, a flubloc nasal spray, cilapam ls, Clonil, and Hifenact. He said to always continue 2, 4, and 5. But yesterday it got so bad, my left chest and hand weren't working properly, so I rushed to a nearby medical place and they gave me two injections. I got an ECG and chest X-ray done, and both came back normal. I've quit smoking recently, which is good, but I can't find those meds anywhere here. Can you suggest alternatives or anything extra that might help? There's no pulmonologist around and I'm really worried.

I'm really puzzled about something and could use some guidance. All my testsECG, echo, and TMTcame back normal, yet I'm experiencing this weird pain in my chest muscle, especially when I touch it or sit down. There's also this mild pain below my collarbone and at the back of my left rib when I touch those areas. It almost feels like there's some swelling right below my left collarbone, but everything looks normal when I check in the mirror. Any idea what might be going on?

Based on your description, it seems like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain rather than a cardiac issue since your ECG, echo, and TMT are normal. The pain you are feeling when touching your chest muscles and the mild pain below the collar bone and back side of the left rib could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help relieve the pain and swelling, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.

Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.
