What Causes Sudden Stabbing Pain In Chest?
i am 23 yr old male , weighing 93 kgs and my height is 5ft 8in .
i had my ECG checked 5 times but all were normal.
in my 1st ecg i had read an interpretation on the graph that read an inferior ST elevation (borderline ECG) . thus to rule out any cardiac problem i had my Ecg done from different drs and location s but all say its absolutely normal.. i had checked my BP several times and the readings were like... 120/80 , 110/78 , 170/86 , 108/80 , and latest 140/90.... last night due to sudden stabbing pain in my chest i woke up at 4 am and went to ER and had my ECG checked , dr said its normal but i noticed some change in V3 and it worries me very much... they diagnosed it to be gastritis and gave me PPI and digene...please help me...

dear first thing to tell u is u don’t have any heart problem so don’t worry that stabbing pain is due to ur anxiety so forget about ur chest pain
ecg sometimes they show as having MI it is just machinery reading leave it
problem in v3 is also not significant because it is just in 1 lead .
