Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I went to the doctor a few months back for a heart check-up since my heart was beating fast. I was said that I might have sinus tachycardia and that I will be fine but recently, I have been experiencing pain in the heart region. Since childhood, I have been having sharp and deep pain in my heart and chest region and I used to think that something is wrong with my heart. I have taken an X-ray of my heart and my family history of heart problems is that my grandfather had a heart attack. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We take this opportunity to guide you.

Such pain for a long period can be associated with acidity or gases in the stomach. Pain in the heart cannot persist for so long, and such pain will be severe. Mild pinpoint pain is usually associated with stomach gases. But, I suggest you take a 2D echo for your heart-related symptoms and we can check if there is anything suspicious. Mostly, there will be nothing to worry but you can take it to clear your doubts and for a better diagnosis. For now, I suggest you take the tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once before breakfast for five days. Please let me know the following:

  1. Have you taken an ECG (electrocardiogram)?

  2. For how long have you been having this pain?

  3. Does it resolve on its own or after taking medicine?

Please share all the investigations that you have done. I will check and let you know.

I am thankful that you had confidence in me to help you.

Thank you.

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