Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have pain in my left side of the chest and under armpit from the last one week. My EKG report is clear but my resting heart rate is always 50 to 60 bpm. During running, my heart rate is 100 to 130 and during walking, it is 70 to 90 bpm. My blood pressure is 100/70 mm/Hg. My age is 27 years. I am single, non-smoker, and do not consume alcohol. What reason can cause my left-sided chest pain and low heart rate?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to any cardiac issues. Considering your age and the fact that you have no cardiovascular risk factors there is nothing to worry about your heart. Your heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations are quite normal during physical activity and do not indicate any serious cardiac condition. Costochondritis or inflammation can be the cause of your complaints. Anxiety may also trigger this clinical situation. I would recommend using painkillers. If the pain persists, I recommend performing a chest X-ray study, a cervical spine X-ray study, complete blood count, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) for inflammation.
