I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm Sanjay, and I've been dealing with this small pin-point pain in my chest for the last two months. I saw a local doctor who suggested getting an ECG and blood tests. After the tests, he said my heart's fine and linked the pain to gastric issues. He prescribed Rablet D and Met XL. Could you have a look at my ECG and let me know if there's really no heart issue? I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 59 kg, and I'm 158 cm tall. I've uploaded my ECG, blood test, and TMT 2D Echo reports. Can you help me figure this out?

As per your ECG report, there is no problem with your heart. The chest pain you are experiencing is likely due to gastric issues, as mentioned by your doctor. The medications prescribed to you are: - Rablet D (Dosage: 1 tablet before breakfast) - Met XL (Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor) Continue taking these medications as advised by your doctor. Additionally, you can try to avoid spicy and oily foods, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help with your gastric symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60 and 80 bpm, and sitting it's around 75 to 90 bpm. But when I climb stairs, it jumps to about 145 to 150, and while walking, it's around 125 to 130. Is this normal after recovering from COVID because of the weakness I have? I had an ECG and a TMT last month as part of a regular check-up before COVID, and the TMT was normal even when my heartbeat reached 196. Everything was fine back then. Should I be concerned now?

Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.

I sometimes experience this sharp, pricking sensation in my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds. Other times, its like a quick, intense catch pain that doesn't last longer than about 23 seconds. I've already done all my blood tests and cardiogram, and everything came back normal. Can you help me understand what's causing this pain?

u need an ECG for further evaluation of chest pain and also cardiac biomarkers essay study is indicated.
