What Is The Remedy For Chest Pain With Palpitations Occasionally?

Hi I have been having chest pain for 8 weeks now it use to be just to the touch but now its all over I do not have shortness of breathe just dull ache pain. I don't have any other symptoms occasionally palipatations, but I have had that most of my life. I don't cough I am 51 what could this be? Occasionally right arm pit aches too not necessarily with the chest pain.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Most people think that Chest pain and palpitations are associated with heart problems. But in actuality such probability is less than 20%. Of course, there is the risk for which you need to consult a general physician who take your ECG and if need be, send you for further consultation to a heart specialist.

Next possibility is acidity. Gastric disorder symptoms or AERD also has chest pain or chest fullness. Third possibility is anxiety. You noted that you had this problem for years. That possibly means that this could be anxiety related. Palpitation is also associated with anxiety. Don't worry about it. Ignoring the symptoms does a lot of good.

If you can consult a general physician and rule out the heart cause, then the rest of the treatment is easy and effective.
