Question : I feel discomfort in lower part of the heart sometimes..it feels like...pressing the blood vessel.

Also I have around 11-12 lipomas. In that only one from left upper thigh is paining when I pressed it. i have consumed more proteins/eggs/beef and also protein powder when I was going to gym 2 years ago. Not sure if that was the cause of Lipomas.

Hello

After going to the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that protein intake doesn’t cause lipomas. Lipomas develop due to genetic mutation although exact cause is unknown.

For your chest discomfort, it’s advisable to get an ecg and an echocardiogram done.

For itching issues you can take Tab Levocet M 5/10 at bed time one tab once a day for one week.

Kind Regards

Thanks Doctor.
Should I also worry about my Rhematic problems? Few months ago , the test for ASO titre came as more than 200 which I think is not normal. In anyways Is there any chance that I'm having this lower heart discomfort due to this Rhematic?

Hello again

Detailed Answer:
Throat infection with streptococcus bacteria like pharyngitis can also cause slight increase in ASO.

Just get your ecg and echo done to rule out any cardiac involvement.
