Can Pressure In Chest With Painful Sternum Suggest Valvular Dysfunction?
I frequently have a sensation of pressure in my chest/ shortness of breath and I'll occasionally have a small area of pulsing pain on either the right or left side of my sternum. Ibuprofen is extremely effective for these symptoms and therefore I was wondering if the vasoconstrictive or anti-inflammatory effects of Ibuprofen could reduce the symptoms of a vascular malformation or if these symptoms would likely be due to something other than a vascular malformation. Thanks!

HI
Well come to HCM
This is not because of the valvular heart disease but could be due to Hyperacidity and in my opinion this can be best treated with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day, some basic information is missing here like age and gender, hope this information helps.
