Greetingsi dr vaishalee
So, I tried and looks like the issue still persist, the uncomfortability has moved on the right side of the chest too, not frequently, no major pain, just that poking sensation once a while.
I consulted a cardiologist, he suggested ecg,echo,TNT, etc, but since it's also on the right side, do u suggest I do them? Or do you suggest other medications.?
Thnx

Brief Answer:
Kindly send details of your chest pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Kindly describe following characteristics of pain- whether its localized in some area of lung or generalized, whether it gets worse on pressing or moving, any shortness of breath, any other symptoms.
ECG and echo are basic heart tests. Echo will help find if there is any structural heart problem which may get missed on ECG.
Nonetheless, its mandatory to perform an ECG. A chest X ray A view should also be taken to check for any lung problems. These two are basic tests and must be done.
If these come back normal, then further tests may be undertaken.
