Ive been having pains in the heart-area 2-3 times a day for the past several days. Sometimes its a quick, stabbing pain but other times it stays around for several minutes. I am very active and in shape (3-4 hours of exercise everyday) although I dont eat very healthy.
Hello, Your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders. Anyway, I would like to have some more information on your chest pain: - Is it present during resting or triggered by physical activity? - Is it associated with shortness of breath? - Is it triggered by deep breathing or body movements? If the pain is triggered by deep breathing or body movements, it could be indicative of a musculoskeletal pain. Otherwise, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - A resting ECG and cardiac enzymes- A chest x-ray study-Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
