Question : Heavy chest pain from 8 days
Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem life threatening for now
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
you're experiencing heavy chest pain for eight days and your CBC (Complete Blood Count), chest X-ray, and ECG (Electrocardiogram) results are normal, it's a positive sign that there may not be any immediate life-threatening conditions related to your heart or lungs.
Chest pain can have various causes, and even if the initial tests are normal, it doesn't rule out other potential underlying issues.
Some potential causes of chest pain, unrelated to heart or lung issues, may include musculoskeletal problems, gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux or gastritis, anxiety or stress-related conditions, or other less common conditions. A thorough medical evaluation is crucial to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.
GET REPEAT ECG DONE IF CHEST PAIN IS PERSISTANT, BECAUSE IN SOME CASES INITIAL ECG COMES NORMAL AND REPEAT ECG IS REQUIRED.
AND ONE INVESTIGATION CALLED TROP I. IF IT COMES NEGATIVE ,THEN HEART ATTACK IS UNLIKELY.
I Hope Your query Is Clear Now.
In Case Any Further Query, Feel Free To Ask.
Thank You.
