Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that her symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

The pain which is modulated by touching is not related to the heart, as you can not touch your heart.

It seems to be just a musculo-skeletal pain. Anxiety can not be excluded either.

Coming to this point, I would recommend trying ibuprofen for the pain. If the pain persists, I would recommend consulting with her doctor for a physical exam and some tests:

-a chest X ray study
-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound.

You should discuss with her doctor on the above issues.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
