Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain And Pressure Around Heart
I have slight chest pain, with a little pressure around the heart. I m somewhat dizzy, and cloudy in my thinking. A little short on breath , but not bad. My blood pressure is 100/75. I do have a minor mitral valve prolapse. I have been active this morning...laundry kids off to school...taking flights of stairs quickly...that sort of thing. I am wondering if taking asprin and lying down would be ok or should I do something more. I am female, 52 years of age. 5 3 130 lbs. No smoking. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello,
I would like to know if the chest pain is triggered by deep breathing or body movements. This would indicate possible musculoskeletal pain. In such a case, some rest and ibuprofen would help improve your situation.
Otherwise, if with resting, the pain persists and it is not modulated by body movements, I would recommend going to the ER for a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
