Heart Ache, Constantly. Had Congestive Heart Disease. What Does It Sound Like?
My heart is hurting right above my left breast , and at times it s constant and I m short of breath until it goes away. I was told three years ago that I had congestive heart disease but the test was a failure because I was pregnant and the sticky things wouldn t stay on. It feels like my heart is physically being squeezed.

hi, you have given incomplete details about past heart problem. if the problem first started at the time of pregnancy with symptoms like short of breath and leg swelling and palpitation and at that time it was told as congestive heart disease you have to first under go ECHO to rule out any decrease in heart pumping function , or is there any congenital heart disease , so for that you have to meet once cardiologist and get echo done first.
