I've done a bunch of tests like the 2D echo, ECG, and TMT stress test, and everything came back normal. My cholesterol is at 158, BP is 12080, and both calcium and alkaline phosphatase are within limits. All the CBC, blood count, sugar, and urine tests went well, and the doctor said nothing's wrong with me. But I still feel chest pain and back pain, right opposite my heart and pain around my ribs. After dinner, I feel pretty uneasy, and my work hours are 5 pm to 3 am. When I try to sleep at night, I end up feeling stressed and uneasy. The 2D echo test showed my heart's compatibility is 64, and blood circulation is normal. I quit smoking about 8 months ago but still have tobacco twice a day, and I'm trying to quit. I'm also getting into exercise regularly. I'm wondering if this is all in my head because a colleague of ours passed away recently. Is there any chance I'm at risk for a heart attack here, and what precautions should I be taking?

I've been feeling this pinching kind of mild pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for like 46 seconds or so. At those moments, I can really feel my heart beating faster when I put my hand on my chest. I did talk to a cardiologist about it, and they recommended an ECG, which turned out normal. But I'm still really worried. Could these be warning signs, and should I consider getting more heart-related tests just to be on the safe side?
Given your symptoms of intermittent, mild, left-sided chest pain lasting 4-6 seconds, accompanied by an awareness of a rapid heartbeat, and a normal ECG result, your cardiologist may recommend further tests, such as a stress test, echocardiogram, or Holter monitoring, to rule out potential causes like arrhythmias, pericarditis, or cardiac anxiety, and provide reassurance, but in the meantime, pay attention to any triggers or patterns, and consider maintaining a symptom journal to discuss with your doctor.

I'm really worried about a situation I'm facing right now. Lately, I've noticed that he can't even make it to 1015 steps without getting super out of breath. But oddly enough, he's able to sleep comfortably. Should I be concerned about this imbalance, and is there something specific I should be looking into or doing for him?
increase his exercice and increase foods with nutrition
