My grandfather, who's around 75, has been experiencing some discomfort in the upper left side of his chest just above his heart. He thinks it's probably related to acidity. The pain started just a few hours ago, and he's not on any regular medication. Should we be worried about this being something more serious? What would you recommend we do next?

View allI've been having this mild chest pain on my left side and sometimes feel pain in my hand too, along with back pain. It's been going on for a while and I've already done two ECGs in the past couple of months; both came back normal. My family doctor thinks it might be because I sit for long hours as an IT professional, but the pain hasn't really gone away. Sometimes my chest still hurts a bit on the left side. What should I do about this?
Based on your symptoms and normal ECG reports, it is possible that your chest pain, left hand pain, and back pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues due to prolonged sitting in front of a laptop. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try the following: 1. Take breaks and stretch regularly while working on your laptop. 2. Maintain a good posture while sitting. 3. Use ergonomic equipment such as a supportive chair and keyboard. 4. Consider physical therapy or exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. 5. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help with mild pain. 6. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, focus on improving your posture and taking regular breaks to prevent strain on your muscles and joints.

Is it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?

I'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?
gastritis rule out.
