I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

View allI'm having some muscle pain when I stretch, especially along my chest rib and it even feels like it's coming from the back. I got an ECG and echo done, and they came back normal, but I still feel this discomfort on the upper left side of my chest. I'm getting a bit scared, especially when I sometimes have shortness of breath. Could this be costochondritis or something to do with my lungs or heart?

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results showing sinus bradycardia and incomplete RBBB. Can you help me understand what these terms mean? I've been feeling a bit more tired than usual lately; could this have anything to do with it? Should I be looking into more tests or checkups to make sure everything's alright with my heart? Its just a bit unsettling not knowing what to expect.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a slower rate than normal, typically less than 60 beats per minute. It is caused by the sinus node in the heart sending electrical signals at a slower pace. Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the right bundle branch of the heart. Symptoms of sinus bradycardia may include dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, confusion, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Incomplete RBBB may not cause any symptoms on its own, but it can be associated with underlying heart conditions. Further tests that may be required for sinus bradycardia and incomplete RBBB include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to confirm the diagnosis, a Holter monitor to monitor the heart's electrical activity over a period of time, an echocardiogram to assess the heart's structure and function, and possibly a stress test to evaluate the heart's response to physical activity. For sinus bradycardia, if symptoms are severe or if the heart rate drops too low, a medication like Atropine or Isoproterenol may be prescribed. In cases where bradycardia is persistent and symptomatic, a pacemaker implantation may be necessary. For incomplete RBBB, treatment is usually focused on managing any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the conduction delay. Medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers may be prescribed to help regulate the heart's electrical activity. Remember, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of these conditions.

I'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?
