Brief Answer:
Iron deficiency anaemia and Vitamin D deficiency from reports.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.

Thank you for asking.

I have gone through your reports. Echo is fine and normal. Blood report shows Iron deficiency anaemia and vitamin D deficiency. Anaemia can cause some chest pain also.
The chest pain you described is most likely from gastric irritation and reflux. Change of diet or using of Monosodium glutamate in foods getting in thailand can be a reason also. Avoid irritating foods and Monosodium glutamate contained foods. Taking proton pump inhibitors like Esomeprazole (Nexium) helps also.
You have to take iron and B12 supplements for correcting anaemia. Vitamin d supplements also should be taken. Iron you can use brands like dexorange which is available in capsules or syrups. Vitamin D is available in soft gel capsules. This you can take 1000 IU daily or 8000 IU weekly. Sunlight exposure is also good.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Not related to heart disease as your reports are fine.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.

Thank you for your follow up query.

Your chest pain is not likely related to heart disease as your ECG, stress test and ECHO is fine.
Heart burn and chest pain is most likely related to gastric irritation.
Long term vitamin D deficiency is also a risk for future heart disease. So correcting it is better. You can take 60000 IU weekly once for 1 month and recheck vitamin D. If it is normalized then you can switch off to 8000IU weekly once. You can take it with a glass of milk morning or evening.
Smoking 8 cigerettes daily is also risk for future heart disease. Avoid it if possible or reduce it.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.

Brief Answer:
You can use Methylcobal 500.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.

Thank you for your follow up query.

You can use Methylcobal 500 mgdaily. After taking it for 1 month you can decrease to once in two days.
For Iron supplement you can take Ferrous fumerate which will be available 600mg tablets. This you can take once daily. Better to take on empty stomach. But if it causes gastric discomfort then take along with meals. 3 months therapy is needed to normalize. You can check your haemoglobin and iron profile after 2 months of intake.
Taking a single dose of anti helminthic - Albendazole 400 is also advised for deworming.

Let me know if anything not clear.
