What Causes Constant Pressure Around Sternum?
Question: I have constant pressure on what appears to be my sternum? I is also near the site where my stomach presses on area of hernia repair/mesh where I am having issues. It's hard to differentiate because the hernia/mesh after colonoscopy has caused me to feel sick inside. Are there any symptoms I should look for?
Brief Answer:
Cardiac tests advised...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history and understood your concerns.
If I was your caring doctor would advise to run further cardiac tests:
- ECG
- cardiac echo
- stress test
to exclude cardio-vascular problems.
That is especially true if you are also feeling:
- difficulty in breathing
- blood pressure changes.
Hope it helped!
