What causes faster heart beat and tight feeling in throat?
Patient: Lately my heart has episodes of beating so strongly it feels like something pounding on my chest and my throat feels a little tight and breathing somewhat constricted. I have had this occasionally in the past but it happens several times a day now for the past three or four days. I have never had cardiac problems. Doctor: hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using HCM. I need to know following details before guiding you properly. 1.What is your age ? 2.Do you have high blood pressure,high cholesterol or Diabetes? 3.Do you have family history of heart disease? once i get this information i shall be able to  guide you,Meanwhile get and ECG done to know about possibility of heart problem. My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
