Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 34-year-old and have been experiencing chest pressure on the upper left side of my chest with some pressure in my jaw and arm area. I consulted a cardiologist who did several tests, such as a 2D echocardiogram, ECG, Holter monitor, and an ETT test. All exams came back normal, but I still have this chest pressure. What should be the next steps? Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. There are usually many causes of chest pain, including peptic ulcer disease, costochondritis, respiratory tract infections, etc. Amongst the investigating done, did you do a lipid profile test? It is not included. Have you had any trauma to the chest before now? Did you have any cough? Do you smoke or have a family history of heart disease? Is the pain worsened by exercise or physical activity? The next step will be dependent on your answers to the following questions. Thank you.
