Suggest Remedy For Heart Ailments
Hi. I m a 46-year-old-female. I was diagnosed with heart palpitations a few years ago. I have had severe chest pain on the right side in front and in back. It is hard to swallow even water. I took an aspirin and one Aleve. They took the edge off the pain, but it is still extremely painful.

Hi,
Right side chest pain is rarely cardiac. As you have difficulty in swelling, i doubt you could have a problem on your food pipe (esophagus).
This could be serious & you should meet a gastroentrologist soon. You may need a upper GI endoscopy to detect the cause.
Palpitations could be related to that condition only. You need to do a ECG at the time of tachycardia for its cause.
Thanks
