How Can One Treat Sharp Pain Around Heart And Left Side Of Head?
Hi there. As long as I could remember, sometimes my heart and the close areas around it would be in a sharp pain, like a knife or something squeezing the life out of it. This usually lasts for only 10 seconds, and during that time it hurts to breathe in. Other times, my left side of my head would throb with pain (it s always been my left side). This would happen for every couple of days or so, but I don t understand why, and the doctors have found nothing out of the ordinary.

Hello,
Your symptoms are related to musculo-skeletal pain (probably local inflammation). As a cardiologist, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues, as your symptoms are not typical of the heart. I agree with your doctors that there is no reason to worry about.
Hope you will find this answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
