Suggest Remedy For Recurring Sharp Pain In The Mid Chest

Hi. I have this pain in my chest. It feels like a knot that tightens on and off. Its at the centre of my chest but it feels like its at the back or closer to the centre of my diaphragm. The pain has not made an appearance in a long time but its back today and worse than the last time. Please could you help?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring sharp pain in the mid chest . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are either due to acid reflux or cardiac condition like angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order ECG, TMT ,troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe sedative , aspirin , isosorbid nitrate and betablockers . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis if the problem will be related with acid reflux . For now stay calm and do not exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
