Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely thoroughly investigated for heart diseases.
Sometimes ecg can be normal. So normal ecg does not rule out heart diseases.
Your symptoms like throbbing left sided chest pain worsening on exercise, tingling sensations in fingers etc are commonly seen with heart diseases.
So consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Fresh ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test).
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
