Can An Irregular Heartbeat Cause Below The Breast Pain?
I am a 20 year old female and having pain on my left side, below my breast. I know I have an irregular heartbeat caught recently on an EKG. This pain is sharp but not constant. Seems to sometimes radiate. I also feel a little pressure on my chest but I can breathe okay. No history of heart issues in my family.

HI
Well come to HCM
You have not mentioned the arrhythmia that is being detected in EKG, although if this is pure kind of conduction defect and causing ischemic changes then this could induce the pain in left side of chest, but looking to your age this would be very uncommon, and your below the breast pain could be due to anxiety and depression and may not be due to unexplained heart beat, no need to worry about this, take care.
