What Causes Itching Sensation In Heart?
I am 36, male, atheletic and in very good shape. I was over weight for along time, but lost 70 pounds in 9 months. When I was over weight I had VERY high blood pressure, 210/170 when it was first noticed by a doctor. Now I have 11% body fat, intense exercise 8 hours a week, 120/77 blood pressure, no meds! when I was over weight, sometimes my heart would itch . No pain, just itch. Not often either. It has not happened in years, but now it is itching again. This past week my diet has not been good, too many fried foods. This is very unusual for me to eat like this. I was on a strict diet, low carb, lots of veggys, and whey protein (I lift some serious heavy weights). So my heart has not itched in years, but it is right now. Im worried, but I don t have insurance to see a doctor. so what should I do?

Hi,
Don't panic, probably it is not the heart but esophagus, because you have bad diet recently. I would advise you to regulate your diet and take Omeorazol 20 mg twice a day 30 minutes before meal. Your complaints should disappear in a week.
Take care
