Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Sometimes, I have sudden pain in my heart. But it goes away very quickly. Sometimes I feel this when I lay down. I think that it occurs due to lifting of heavy things. Kindly help me. I do not want to trouble my parents as my grandfather is sick. I do not want to be a hassle to them.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Sudden onset and offset of pain in the chest usually occur due to muscular and skeletal causes. It can also occur due to trauma. This pain aggravates with movements and deep breathing. The other cause of having this pain can be precordial catch syndrome. In this condition, chest pain aggravates with inspiration or expiration usually on the left side. In both cases, taking painkillers helps a lot. You need to remember that tenderness is not felt in the precordial catch syndrome. While in trauma, you can have tenderness. Anxiety can aggravate precordial catch syndrome and so avoid it. Doing simple exercise helps a lot. Sometimes, taking shallow breathing for a minute helps to relieve your pain, and sometimes taking deep respiration relieves pain in precordial catch syndrome.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
