Dear Nikhil
Thank you for sharing your health concern
I truly understand how frustrating it can be when the body shows symptoms, but all medical reports come back normal
According to Ayurvedic point of view your symptoms suggest an imbalance in VATA DOSHA
Especially Udana vata (nervous system, chest)and prana vata(mind, and emotions),
This can create chest tightness, radiating pain, and anxiety like sensation
These are often psychosomatic symptoms were long-standing, anxiety, overthinking, and stress, emotional stress, manifest physically
Ayurvedic treatment
Dashamoola kwath +
Medha kwath+
Mixed together, 1 teaspoon in 400 ML water boil until it remains hundred ML filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach
Medha vati-1 tablet, twice after food with water
Saraswathi aristha-
4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food
Triphala churna-
1 teaspoon with warm water at night
Start slow, deep breathing daily for 10 minutes
Avoid coffee, tea, excessive screen time, and late night
Include warm nourishing foods and reduce cold and dry foods
You are not alone in this, and your body is simply asking for a reset, both mentally and physically with Patient and right support you can come out of this cycle naturally ….

HELLO V S NIKHIL BHARADWAJ,
based on your description, this seems like a classic case of Psychosomatic manifestation- where chronic stress and anxiety may be presenting as physical symptoms-like pain, tightness and radiating sensation
particularly In the left hypochondriac, chest, shoulder and arm.
All investigations being normal confirms no structural or cardiac cause, which further support diagnosis.
MODERN VIEW- these are signs of health anxiety and somatisation, where stress affects the nervous system and manifests as real physical discomfort (not imagined). panic attacks also reinforce body vigilance.
AYURVEDIC VIEW- imbalance in vata(prana+udana subtypes) leads to anxiety, chest tightness, palpitations, and shooting pain.
-vyana vata imbalance can lead to pain radiating to limbs and areas like the collarbone.
-sadhakpitta aggravation - related to emotional processing in the heart and samana vata- in the left hypochondrium may also be involved
1)MEDICINAL SUPPORT
-SARASWARISTA+ASHWAGANDHARISTA- 10 ml each with 45 ml water after lunch and dinner= calms anxiety, regulates vata
-MANASITRA VATAKAM- 1 tab at bedtime with warm milk/water= for panic, and sleep
-BRAHMI VATI(GOLD OR PLAIN)- 1 tab morning empty stomach improves memory, clarity, and reduces nervousness
-MAHATVAT VIDHWANSAK RAS- 125 mg twice a day with honey= vata shaman, radiating pain
#DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
-warm, easily digestible food
-moongdal khichdi, ghee, cooked vegetables
AVOID- cold fppd, spicy items, tea/coffee, junk food, late dinners
-use ajwain+rock salt in warm water post meals-1 pinch to reduce gut gas
#LIFESTYLE AND YOGA
DAILY MORNING ROUTINE
-oil massage with warm sesame oil before bath
-nasya- instil 2 drops of Anutaila in each nostril early morning
YOGA/PRANAYAM-30 MIN DAILY
-bhramari- for anxiety
-anulom vilom - to balance vata
-shavasana- after yoga to reset the nervous system
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALING
-counseling and mindfulness based therapy- if available talk therapy helps resolve subconscious fears and body anxiety
-JAPA OR CHANTING- daily mantra chanting like om namah shivay or Gayatri mantra - calms the mind and stabilised vata.
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFULL
DO FOLLOW
THANK YOU

Understanding the symptoms you've described, it seems like they might be related to an imbalance in your Vata dosha, which governs movement and activity in Ayurvedic principles. Anxiety and stress often aggravate Vata, leading to physical manifestations like pain. But before anything else, it's reassuring that you've gone through an array of tests with specialists, ruling out immediate serious conditions.
To tackle the root of this with Ayurveda, we ought to focus on calming Vata and balancing your overall system. Here are some steps you might consider:
Daily routine, or dinacharya, is essential. Try waking up early, ideally before 6 AM. Establish a calm morning ritual with meditation or deep breathing. Even just 10-15 minutes it can help set a peaceful tone for the day.
Your diet can play a crucial role in managing symptoms. Lean towards warm, moist, and grounding foods—think cooked vegetables, rice, and soups. Avoid caffeine, cold items, and overly spicy foods as these can aggravate Vata. Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha might provide a boost too, as it's known for its grounding and nourishing properties.
Don't underestimate the power of Abhyanga, or self-oil massage. Using warm sesame oil before your bath can be soothing for your nervous system. Massage gently over your whole body, paying attention to areas of tension.
Yoga could be another useful approach. Focus on gentle poses like forward bends and twists that help to calm the mind and ease tension in the body. Practice Savasana for relaxation, and consider adding Pranayama like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to balance energies.
Lastly, ensure you get adequate rest. Sleep is the body's natural way of calming Vata, so aim for 7-8 hours of quality rest each night.
If symptoms persist or escalate, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional once more; though Ayurveda offers great support, it’s not a substitute for necessary medical intervention.
