Experiencing pain during heart beat
Patient: My question is -- sometimes I can feel my heartbeat hurt a little beat. With each beat, it is a very faint, but noticeable pain. What could this be? Its not always, just once in a while. I can feel it in the center of me (where my heart is) and in my back some, too. Doctor: HelloChest pain may be due to many causes like cardio-pulmonary causes,refulx etc.It important to know your age.It is safe to exclude cardiac causes first.You may need proper clinical examination and few investigations.Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver and renal function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,chest X-ray (PA view),ultrasound of abdomen,ECG,TMT,ECHO.You may need further test like angiography after these initial tests.Proper treatment depend upon findings.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
