What Can Cause Sharp Chest Pain With Episodes Of Heart Flutter?
28 year old female. chest pain left side front now last night it was a sharp pain when I took a deep breath in my back on the right side upper back. Occasionally I have episodes where my heart will flutter and beat fast then feel like it suddenly stops for a second and it makes me cough to catch my breath. I have never had this checked out but was told this weekend I could have a form of heart disease...is this true?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
Noted your symptoms suggesting toward some form of cardiac cause....
As you complaining flutter like sensation so first arrhythmias has to be ruled out....
Second it could be ectopic or premature beats like problem....
So consult doctor without delay for auscultation of heart sound and check murmur ....
Measure your blood pressure...
ECG and echo useful for correct diagnosis.
Causative treatment done...
Take care.
