Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 18, nearly 19, but I think I have heart problems or something in my chest .....? I get numbing pains in my leff arm side where my heart is in the middle of my chest. lately my chest has been hurting (liket that feeling you have form a bruise) its sore to breathe in deeply? I went to the doctor he basically just poked proded a bit, because he probably thought an 18yr old with heart problems was hilarious!
If you don't think your doctor is taking you seriously it probably means it's time for a new doctor. A person can have heart problems at any age (though it is less common at younger ages) and the doctor should take any concern of the patient seriously in case there is a real problem.
