What Causes Recurring Itch Inside The Chest?

Hi I am 46, 175cm tall and 75kg and generally fit. I do alot of different sports and cycled 160km on Sunday. Anyway my question is related to a reocurring itch in my chest around the heart area. I was diagnosed with a mitral valve issue 20 years ago but after having it checked a few times they said it should be ok and to come back if I have any symptoms. Other than that I am healthy. There is no rash or evidence of skin irretation in the area where I get an itch and ithe itch feels like it is deeper than on the skin.



Not sure what this could be or if maybe a sympton of some heart disorder?
