What Causes Pain And Pressure In Heart?

I occasionally have felt some blunt pain, and pressure in my heart. It is relieved by leaning towards my left side, and hitting my chest from the left side. Most online questioners say that laying on the left side hurts their heart, I find the opposite. Laying on my right side causes pressure (I change positions before any pain occurs, so I'm not sure if it would occur at all). What is your diagnosis?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a musculo-skeletal pain.

As a cardiologist I would exclude any cardiac disorders.

So, there is nothing to worry about!

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
