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 hate to make this lengthy but here it goes. A couple months ago i was watching a movie with family and was having a perfectly great day. After the movie as soon as I stood up I experienced a sudden pain/discomfort in my lower stomach area (just bellow the belly button), my heart started pounding very hard and rapidly, and i also had the shakes along with some nausea. I could barely walk or speak. After a few hours of this it eventually went away. But now it's happening everyday/night, just not as severe. It's an almost constant discomfort/pain in the same stomach area and at night the pain/discomfort worsens along with an increased heart rate. This has been going on for several days and it's really troubling me. What could possibly be wrong with me? I am 21 year old male with no previous medical conditions nor am I on medications.
I did attempt to go to the ER the first time I had this (about 2 years ago) but by the time the Dr. saw me the "episode" was over with and I received Zero advice. These symptoms i used to get at what it seemed to be random times. Sometimes a month apart and other times many months apart. But now it's everyday especially at night.
I'd your symptoms are still there then surely you are a candidate for holter monitoring.this is an investigation to observe the rythm of your heart during a periodof at least 24hours.so you can consult a cardiologist for appointment and get yourself examined before anything happens to your heart
