Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Increased Heart Rate And Pain In Left Chest?
At night my heart starts pounding without an increase in heart rate. Sometimes a heart beat is skipped and I cant sleep for the first two hours at night due to anxiety. Cholesterol levels are fine and no diabetes. Slight pain felt in left chest area but not painful at all. Feel unenergetic and uneasy. No BP problem as well. I am 31. This has been happening since a couple of months. Havent seen a Doc yet but intend to see one pretty soon.
Hello welcome to HCM. Your symptoms indicates of three possibilities. First it may be just simple chest muscle spasms. For this plain analgesics will relieve the symptoms. Second is You may be having acidity. More acid is produced in the stomach which is splashing up towards oesophagus which is present behind chest, hence you are feeling sensation. It will be burning type and this sensation also felt in the neck. For this you have to take proton pump inhibitors like omez-40mg once daily half an hour before break fast. Every day for ten days. All the problems will be relieved in early. Third cause is symptom related to heart. pain will be like some wight is there on the chest. sweating will be there. I am sorry for suggesting an investigation, but to confirm getting ECG is must. Then take advice from the physician. Take care. good health.
