I'm really worried about my dad. He suddenly started having this pain on both sides of his chest and hes having trouble breathing. The pain gets really bad when he walks or even with the slightest movement. We got his ECG, CBC, and Trop T reports done and they all came back normal, but it's been four days and he hasn't felt any better. What could be causing this and what should we do next?
