What Causes Discomfort In The Left Side Of The Chest?
Hi I have twinges in my chest on the left hand side below my collarbone above my breast, I've had this a while on and off, I've had an ecg and everything was fine, I get palpitations after drinking alcohol when in bed after a night out, don't know what's going on really

Hi,
1. Recent research/ study finds that having one to three alcoholic drinks each day may increase risk for atrial fibrillation (Afib) or 'holiday heart syndrome' thus check with liver function test to exclude 'Alcoholic Liver Disease'.
2. Get an opinion of 'Cardiologist' for systemic examination and for any other Coronary Artery disease [CAD] or atypical angina and a Chest Specialist to exclude any lung problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood
