What causes chest pain, despite normal ECG and medications?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

Based on the details provided, you may be experiencing symptoms of chest pain and anxiety. While your ECG (echocardiogram) results (attachments removed to protect patient identity) are reassuring, further investigation, such as 2D ECO (two-dimensional echocardiogram) or stress testing (a diagnostic procedure used to assess how well the heart functions during physical activity), is recommended. Chest pain resembling a pinpoint or sharp sensation, coupled with hair pulling, may indicate anxiety or panic attacks. However, it is crucial to rule out other potential causes like heart disease or underlying medical conditions. If there is a history of anxiety disorder (a mental health condition marked by excessive worry, physical symptoms like tension, and irrational fears), your symptoms may be related. I suggest consulting with a mental health professional, such as a therapist, to manage anxiety and develop coping strategies. Alongside mental health support, continue collaborating with your healthcare provider to monitor chest pain and exclude underlying conditions. I suggest some additional tests like stress tests or cardiac catheterization (a procedure using a thin tube to assess and treat heart conditions) may be necessary to determine the cause.

In the meantime, I suggest you adhere to prescribed painkillers and follow recommended treatments for chest pain and anxiety. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga. Always prioritize your health, and if you have concerns or unusual symptoms, I suggest you consult a healthcare provider for guidance and support.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
