Need medication for pain & pulsation just under the ribcage
Patient: I have been having pulsating just under my left ribcage towards my chest it doesnt hurt but slightly takes my breath away its been going on for a week but getting more frequent each day ive taken buscopan but thats made no difference should I be concerned. Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. Left sided chest pain with feeling of pulsation is seen mostly in cardiac cause.So we need rule out cardiac cause first. Get done 1. ECG2. 2D Echo To rule out this.If both are normal,  then no need to worry for cardiac cause. Anemia can cause chest pain and palpation.  So get done CBC ( Complete Blood Count ) to rule out anemia. If this is also normal than mostly you are having anxiety related chest pain and palpation. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
