Are Heart Diseases Related With Heart Palpitations & Sharp Pain In Chest?
Hi, I'm 15 years old. My dads side of the family has a history of heart problems. Uncle has type 2 diabetes my grand father had a heart attack and had triple bypass surgery and all of them including my dad and I have high blood pressure. Randomly I get heart palpitations and sometimes a really sharp pain in the left side of my chest and its lower chest. Usually lasts about 15 seconds, any ideas of what it could be?

Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most likely these are gastritis and acidity problem. Heart pain is very unusual in this age group and it usually occurs on exertion. No need to worry and try to improve diet like less of spicy, oily food and regular bowel habits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
