My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allMy mom recently had an angioplasty done for two of her blocked arteries, and now she's showing some signs that make me worry there might be more blockages. Is there a way to check for blockages without having to go through another angiography? Would really appreciate your advice on this.
can undergo a CT angiography to detect any further blockage without going through another angiography. It is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed images of the blood vessels. The doctor may prescribe medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is important to monitor her condition.

So I had this chest pain about 2 months ago, and it wasn't related to the heart. I got my ECG and 2D echo done, and they both were normal. I also got a chest X-ray, and some other blood tests like cholesterol and thyroid, and everything was normal except for high cholesterol. The pain went away after I took some medication. But now, after 2 months, I'm experiencing the same kind of chest pain. It's more moderate to mild this time, but last time it was really severe. I couldn't even lay on the bed then. This time too, my ECG checked out normal. Should I be doing more tests to make absolutely sure it's not something heart-related, or do you think it's enough for now?
Since your ECG results came back normal and you have already undergone tests like 2D echo, chest x-ray, FBS, HbA1c, and thyroid tests which were all normal except for high cholesterol levels, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac-related. However, if you are still experiencing chest pain, it may be beneficial to consult with your doctor to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can continue taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux and Ulgel syrup for gastritis symptoms.

I've been having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?
