If your ECG is normal then the pain may be due to muscle strain, anxiety or acid reflux. If medicines are not giving permanent relief, then talk to a doctor again, they may suggest few tests to find the exact reason of pain.

I am 62 year old. I have been taking medicine for last 4-5 year. Heart pumping was set at 42% from last 3 year , but I had got heat attack 2 times and now pumping work at 30% and No blockage, now what should I will do ?
Male | 62
You should consult a cardiologist as soon as possible to determine how well your heart functions. A drop from 42% pumping to the level of 30% is considerable, and it may call for a modification in medication or other therapy. Heart health must be taken care of by the specialist to avoid further heart attacks.

Your dad, who is 71 years old, experienced an ischemic stroke 14 days ago. As a result, he lost sensation on his right side and has some speech difficulties. He is currently taking medication for his condition. After the stroke, he experienced nausea and chest discomfort. Although he underwent cardiac tests, all the results came back normal. The cause of his chest discomfort and burning sensation is unclear at this point. I would like to know what may be the causes and whats the next step to take.
Male | 71
The causes of your father’s chest pain and burning sensations include acid reflux, anxiety or medication side effect. But considering his past medical history of ischemic stroke and age, a cardiac cause must be excluded. I suggest a cardiologist referral for further evaluation and treatment. He should continue with the medication used to treat his stroke and have regular visits from a health care provider.

Your heart's pumping power is low, about 30%. It makes you easily tired, short of breath, and dizzy. Eating vitamin-rich foods helps, like fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

A longer than normal QT interval often shows up on an ECG. This could mean heart rhythms aren't normal. You might feel dizzy, pass out, or have pounding heartbeats. Having an echocardiogram helps see how your heart works. It's crucial to see your cardiologist. They'll look deeper into this and treat it properly.

Chest pain can have various causes, even if initial reports appear normal. Potential reasons include:
Musculoskeletal Issues: Strained muscles or costochondritis may cause chest discomfort.
Gastrointestinal Conditions: Acid reflux or gastritis may mimic cardiac pain.
Psychological Factors: Stress and anxiety can contribute to chest pain.
Respiratory Issues:Conditions like pleurisy or inflammation of lung lining.
Nerve Irritation:Conditions affecting nerves in the chest may cause pain.
If chest pain persists or worsens, consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation to rule out serious conditions.
