Suggest Treatment For Left-sided Chest Pain Despite A Normal Ultrasound Report Of The Aorta
Question: Hello I'm 66 year old and chest pain on my left side, I had a ultrasound for my aorta it was normal but I still have pain, all thing time. I have ekg also
Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would like to have some more information on your chest pain:
- Is it triggered by deep breathing or body movements?
- Is is triggered by manual pressure on the chest?
- Is it related to eating?
- Is it triggered by straining physical activity?
If your chest pain is triggered by deep breathing, pressure on the chest or body movement it could be indicative of musculo-skeletal pain (inflammation or chostochondritis).
Anyway, considering your age, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test just to investigate for possible coronary artery disease.
Hope to have been helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
