Question : Hello. I have slight pain in my lower back that matches the pulsing of my heartbeat. Should this be any of concern? I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this before. Sometimes it pulsates pretty hard sometimes not as hard I’d say the pain level would be about a four.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This could be indicative of musculoskeletal pain or local inflammation.

Anyway if these symptoms persist, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- A chest X ray study
- a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for the.

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,
