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.

View allI've been having chest pain on the left side for about a year now. I've done all sorts of tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. For more clarity, I even had a CT coronary angiogram done. I've attached the frame and report here. Could you please take a look and let me know what's going on?
It is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac causes of chest pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and maintaining good posture may also be beneficial. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Is it possible to treat heart blockage just with medications and lifestyle changes without needing surgery or angioplasty I'm worried because I've heard mixed opinions and want to know if avoiding procedures is a safe option for managing it
conservative therapy fails ,angioplasty is the only resort.

I've been keeping track of my blood pressure, and it usually falls between 130140 and 8090 over the last month. I'm not keen on starting any medication right now and wonder if I can get it back to normal with a healthy diet. I don't smoke or drink, and I sleep well. I weigh 86 kg and am working on getting it down below 75 kg. I'm thinking being overweight might be the only reason for my high BP since my sugar levels and kidney function are normal. I get mild headaches approximately once every two weeks. Do you think focusing on weight loss and diet could help stabilize my blood pressure?
Maintaining a healthy diet can definitely help in managing your blood pressure. In addition to a healthy diet, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. Since you are already working on reducing your weight, that is a positive step towards improving your blood pressure. While being overweight can contribute to high blood pressure, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as diet, physical activity level, stress, and genetics can also play a role in blood pressure levels. I get mild headache once in two weeks or so. Mild headaches can sometimes be associated with high blood pressure. However, it is important to monitor your headaches and consult with a healthcare professional if they become more frequent or severe. As you are not currently on any medication and prefer to manage your blood pressure through lifestyle changes, I recommend focusing on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, reducing your sodium intake can also help in managing blood pressure. Regular physical activity and stress management techniques can further support your efforts in maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
