Chest Pain, Upper back pain, Left arm pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello I am a 26yo Asian male. Not a smoker too. Ever since mid 2016, I had been encountered suddenly cases of mild pain on my chest, upper back and left arm. Sometimes together at the same time, sometimes separate incident.

During 2016 and 2017, I had visited the GP doctors a lot of times, did a lot of EKG (Probably nearly 10 times), blood test, urine test and X ray which all the tests came back fine. I even visited 2 different cardiologist did stress ekg, 2d echo and ct coronary angiogram and they are all fine as well. Totally 0 blockage from the ct coronary angiogram test.

After that I just assume it is anxiety and just ignore it and it has been better for like nearly a year and now it has came back. Some days I get a pain down my left hand that last the whole day. Sometimes I suddenly feel a bit of light headed, upper back pain and left hand pain for 1-2 hour although I am just sitting down and not doing any stressful activity. This week I get a tingling feeling on my left leg that lasts for a few days. Should I be worry after all the tests I had done a year ago? I don't really want to visit the doctors again because of my long record of visiting them, they usually just call off as anxiety without tests.

    If your test all came back negative and no blockage then it is very possible that you have stress and anxiety.

    Do  you take time to wind down and relax?  Think about meditation and soothing music.  You didn't mention your BP readings.  What kind of job do you have?
