Past 1.5 years regular pain & heaviness in my left & center side of chest & in my left hand, all cardiac test done and are normal, reason for pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT/MRI: Get a ct scan and or an MRI of the chest to rule out cardiac and pulmonary ( lung) issues. May be related to exertion or stress, have you already had a cardiac stress test and echo-doppler studies. Are you taking antianxiety/antidepressants? Get the scans and they will set your mind at ease.
