Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dr. Mintz, I am 61, in good health. Moments ago I was standing in the kitchen putting a dish in the dishwasher and suddenly a severe pain in my left groin (upper thigh near pelvic aea) came on and simply took my breath away. It lasted about 5-10 seconds and then passed with no after effects. Could this be a heart warning?

What Causes Severe Pain In The Groin Area?
Hello, It is not a cardiac pain. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. You can consult a cardiologist and plan for an ECG for reassurance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
