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.

I've been experiencing some chest tightness on and off for the past 1.5 years. It'll usually happen and last for about 2 minutes, making it hard to breathe or move my upper body. Recently, I woke up in the middle of the night to get some water and felt the same tightness with a slight pain in my chest and heart. I went to a cardiologist and had an ECG and a 2D echo test, but they both came back normal. The doctor advised me to rest, and I did, but the chest tightness keeps happening. Why is this still going on? Could there be another cause, and should I see someone else for this? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

I've been dealing with chest pain for quite a while now, and I just found out from an ECG that everything's normal. The pain isn't in one specific spot; sometimes it's on the left side, right side, or even lower down. Im starting to think it might be muscle-related. Is there something specific I can take for muscle pain? On top of that, I've noticed I get short of breath easily. I've been really inactive the past few months, barely moving at all, so Im wondering if this lack of exercise could be causing my stamina to drop and making me feel breathless. Could that be the case?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure, and he was told he needs to decide about a second open-heart surgery. The first one he had was an off-pump coronary artery bypass using a vein from his leg. He's supposed to have this new surgery by the end of the year. Can you help me understand what kind of risks he might be facing with this surgery?

Infection,bleeding ,allergic reactions and headache are some of the complications of the surgery.
