Left Side Chest Pain: Causes and Relief
Chest pain beneath your left breast can have many causes. Maybe it's muscle strain or heartburn. Maybe even anxiety. But sometimes the heart triggers the pain. If you also have shortness of breath, arm pain, or jaw pain, seek emergency medical care. This could signal a serious heart condition. Until seeing a cardiologist, stay calm and avoid strenuous activity. Resting can stop the pain from worsening.

Do I have aortic sclerosis with mild aortic thickening?
Mild thickening of the aortic valve is not the same as aortic sclerosis. Sometimes, as people get older, their aortic valves can get a little bit thicker. It’s usually not a big deal and doesn’t cause any symptoms. Make sure to keep following up with a cardiologist so they can keep an eye on it.

Is 2.9mm Echogenic Focus in LV Normal?
You have an echogenic focus measuring 2.9 mm in the left ventricle - this is often a meaningless discovery that isn’t associated with symptoms. This can happen when there are tiny deposits inside the heart muscle. The heart is still by all means okay with it. Always remember to check it during the regularly scheduled visits to make certain that everything is within normal limits.

This is not usually a big deal. It is common and mostly harmless. Also, it can resolve on its own without causing any problems for your child. Therefore, ensure you have regular visits to your gynecologist for further observation and to confirm everything is alright with the pregnancy.
