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 allI'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've been having some pain on the left side of my chest along with pain in my upper back and sometimes in the left side of my neck. It's been a real mixed bagsometimes it's a dull ache, other times it's much worse. About a month ago, I had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. My lipid profile and high-sensitive troponin levels were normal too, and even my chest X-ray didn't show anything unusual. But this has been going on for the last 10 months now. I'm trying to figure out if this pain might be related to my heart, my lungs, a muscle issue, or maybe just gas. Should I think about repeating the heart-related tests, or what do you recommend as the next step?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal results of your previous heart-related tests, it is less likely that the pain is heart-related. The pain in your left chest, left upper back, and neck could be musculoskeletal in nature, possibly due to muscle strain or inflammation. It could also be related to gas or indigestion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and applying heat or ice to the affected areas. Additionally, practicing good posture and gentle stretching exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. They may recommend physical therapy, muscle relaxants, or other medications such as ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is not necessary to repeat the heart-related tests at this point, given your recent normal results. However, if you experience any new or concerning symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice promptly."

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.
