What Causes Stabbing Pain In Left Side Of Heart And Faster Heartbeat?
I am 15 yrs old and for the past week, I ve had a stabbing pain the left side around the heart and my heart starts pounding super fast...this lasts for about 30-45 seconds and goes away then today on the left side of my neck i could feel my pulse beating really fast. This has been going on for 2 weeks. Last August i was told that i have polysystic ovarian syndrome and high testosterone levels. (i had gone 7 mths without my menstral cycle) and they put me on a bc pill to regulate. I ran out of the bc pills last month and didn t return to obgyn yet...so, 7 wks without a period again. My heart is what scares me....

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a musculo-skeletal pain. The palpitations could be related to a reaction to the pain or anxiety.
Anyway, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count, PCR and ESR for inflammation.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
