What Causes Stabbing Pain In The Heart?
i am a teen girl. i have been experiencing this weird pain which seems to be in my heart area. it feels like a short stabbing pain and i get it often through the day. it has been worrying me that if its serious or not. also for 2 days now i feel this weird throbbing sensation in my right elbow. it happens about every five minutes. last question, i have been getting daily headaches. sometimes i feel pressure in one area mostly on the left back side. I'm worried i might have a brain tumor because i experience blurred vision sometimes and muscle twitching. i am a hypochondriac always worrying about my health. i just want to live my teenage years happy without worrying. could this be stress also? i really appreciate you answering my question!

hello there
I understand your concern
You are experiencing some sort of anxiety perhaps on account of a Mitral
Valve prolapse syndrome.. Please check with a cardiologist to rule it out on
an Echo. The abnormal shutting of the valve sometimes creates a thudding
effect which is experienced as a pain in the chest and some other variable
anxiety arising symptoms..However it is a benign condition and disappears
with age
An echocardiogram will reveal if it is searched for keeping the MVP in mind
Hope I have been able to answer your query well !!
Please do get back with your test results.. stay healthy ..keep smiling
