Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are not suggestive of any cardiac disorders.The fact that it hurts when touching is typical of costochondritis and I would completely exclude any cardiac issues based on this fact.
So, please don’t worry about it! Nothing serious is going on!
I recommend taking ibuprofen for the pain and using local warm pads.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
I remain at your disposal in case of further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
