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.
I have a stitch like pain on my left side if my chest (feels like it s in my heart )! I get very anxious but it only lasts for a couple of minutes and then it seems to subside. It comes on randomly and isn t related to anything I m doing at the time. I had a full blood count, ECG and chest X-ray about 8 weeks ago and all came back normal except for a slightly elevated thyroid. What could it be??
since your all reports and ECG came normal there could be two probabilities and both are extreme
one could be a local muscle spasm or costochondritis which can be relieved after symptomatic treatment
other could be any cardiac cause for that you have to look for a cardiologist for ECHO and TMT depending upon your detailed history and after physical examination.
I tried to keep ot very simple hope this will help you Regards
