I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

View allWhat is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He's 34 and doesn't smoke or drink, and he seems physically fit. But his TMT report came back positive, and the Echo showed mild LVF. We did a CT angiography, and it was normal, with no blockages found. Should we be worried about these results? Any advice would be helpful.
"Hi, based on the information provided, it seems like your husband is in good overall health despite the positive TMT report and mild LVF on Echo. Since the CT angiography showed no blockage, that is a good sign. To manage the mild LVF, your husband can take ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg once daily to help improve heart function. It's also important for him to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor his heart health. I hope this helps."

I had bypass surgery 7 years ago but now I'm having chest pain again could it be related to my past surgery or something new happening? What should I do about it?
Chest pain after bypass surgery, even years later, can be a cause for concern and warrants medical evaluation. It could be related to the surgery, such as graft narrowing, or due to new heart issues. Don't ignore the pain; consult your doctor immediately to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
