Hi doctor,
A few months ago, I had pain in my left chest. I was referred to a cardiologist just in case it was the heart problem. All the tests, including CT, treadmill, echo, 24-hours Holter returned negative. I was informed that it was likely being sports injury, possibly tennis and nothing to worry about. This pain has been a kind of on and off and I wonder if there is any way to help my muscle to heal. Should I have this further investigated by a specialist?

Thank you doctor,
Would stretching help or hinder the healing process? I have been trying to stretch my chest while practicing yoga, but the muscle does not seem to be fully recovered. The pain would come back easily when I work a little bit harder.

On a scale of 10, the pain is about 3 or 4. So, it does not bother me much. It bothers me a bit when it accompanies with palpitation, but the cardiologist said I am fine. I was not sure how it started. It could have been due to exercise or heavy lifting. Sometimes, it feels better, but it would come back easily when I play a bit harder with tennis or yoga. Is it possible from a kind of scar, which does not have much flexibility?

I have a doubt regarding ultrasound, I have a home unit (US pro 2000), which generates ultrasound of 1.0 MHz of up to 6.4 W. I have been using it for hands and legs. Is it safe to use in the chest area? The instruction manual only says do not use over bones, but does not mention over the heart area. Please guide.
