What Is The Cause Of Palpation On Right Pectoral Muscle In Every 3-5 Seconds?
I have been having palpations on or around my right pectoral muscle for over 24 hours now they happen every 3-5 seconds with 3-7 palpations each time. There is no pain or discomfort. I'am 58,male in good health. You can actually see my right pectoral muscle jumping. No other symptoms. The only medication I'am on is testosterone cyp 1 ml once a week. I started the testosterone 5 months ago.
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. Palpitations can be seen in 1. Stress , anxiety and tension 2. Arrhythmia (cardiac cause) 3. Anemia 4. Hyperthyroidism etc. So better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then get done hemoglobin level and thyroid function test to rule out anemia and hyperthyroidism respectively. If all are normal then stress and anxiety can be the cause. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult doctor and discuss all these.
