Dear ,

This situation seems to be just anxiety.

As a cardiologist, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues.

So, try to relax and don't worry about it!

I would recommend having a camomile tea and have a warm shower. This will make you feel better!

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Your blood lipid profile is perfectly normal.
The location of the pain and your description is typical of costochondritis.

So, in my opinion, there is no reason to panic or perform any additional cardiac tests.

Just try to relax and take ibuprofen for the pain.

Local warm packs will help too.

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Wishing all the best,
