I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still be something heart-related even if the tests were okay?

Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?
