Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac issues.
In fact this kind of pain is very suggestive of local inflammation or a musculoskeletal pain.
So, there is no reason to panic. If the pain persists, I would recommend taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Try to use your fingers straight, for a breast massage, in order to exclude any bumps in the breast, which may need further investigations (breast ultrasound or mammogram).
Do you see any skin changes ( redness, retraction, bumps) in the breast skin?
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri

Brief Answer:
My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
That is right. You have had such ECG changes for a long time before and have performed all cardiac tests to exclude a cardiac issue and these tests have resulted normal.
That is why, I don't think that these ECG changes are anything serious.
Is the pain relieved by ibuprofen? This would be another argument in favor of a musculo-skeletal pain and would help exclude a cardiac issue.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!

Brief Answer:
My answer as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
There are many causes that may lead to slight ST depression such as:
- strain pattern, in case of left ventricle hypertrophy
- microvascular dysfunction in the absence of coronary artery disease
- electrolyte imbalance (low potassium or low magnesium), etc..
Anyway, I don't think that this is anything serious. Regarding anxiety, it can lead to tachycardia and mimic chest pain.
If Tylenol helps improve your situation, this would be indicative of a musculo-skeletal pain.
