What Causes Feeling Of Heaviness On My Chest?

Hi, I have constant waves of goosebumps and a heavy weight feeling on my chest that goes to my back. The left side of throat feels like i'm not getting air and bending forward eases the pain. It's not sharp but more like dull pressure pain... Should I be worried?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely worry about these symptoms because heart diseases can cause similar symptoms.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2 d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes acute gastritis can also cause similar symptoms. So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
