I've been having this really hard time breathing and there's this weird feeling in my chest where my heart is. Sometimes, it feels like I'm about to take my last breath, and it's really scary. I have no clue what's causing all this. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm experiencing some pain in my left arm and a bit of discomfort in my chest, along with some left side back pain. There's also a little bit of gas. Could you tell me if this could be something serious? There aren't any other symptoms.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. The combination of left arm pain, chest discomfort, and back pain could be indicative of a heart problem. It is recommended to take a tablet of aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin 325mg) immediately and seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, you can take an antacid for the gas relief (e.g. Tums) while waiting for medical help.

I'm a bit confused and concerned about my heart health. I had an ECG that showed a myocardial infarction, but after doing 45 more ECGs, they all turned out normal. My echocardiogram is normal too, and the cardiac markers came back negative. I don't know why this happened, and it's making me anxious. The initial reason for the ECG was some giddiness I felt. Should I be worried about these results?
It is possible that the initial ECG showing myocardial infarction was a false positive result, which can sometimes occur due to technical errors or other factors. Since subsequent ECGs, echo, and cardiac markers are normal, it is reassuring that there is no evidence of ongoing heart damage. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if you experience any recurrent symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?
start steam inhalation and if it still not resolved consult a pulmonologist
