What causes chest pains with dizziness?
Patient: i am an 18 year old male, i have been getting chest pains for a while now. they come and go but when they do i have trouble breathing, my heart hurts and i get really dizzy and light headed and feel distant. i get cramps in my arms and my fingers tingle when this happens and occasionaly i also get a sharp pain under my ribs when i breath in and out. Doctor: Hi,This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.Pain in chest can have a lot of causes. Chest pain due to heart disease is non localized, squeezing type & increase on exertion. Still you need to do a ECG & 2D Echo for cardiac evaluation.Chest pain at your age can be simple muscle pain or costochondritis(inflammation of joint between bone & cartilage of chest wall). Both are treated with pain killer. Tab Ultraset will be safe & good for you. Still get a X Ray done to rule out any chest abnormalities.Thanks
