Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I recently returned home from vacation relaxed and rested. But my issue is that I keep having pinches in my heart and my underarm of my left arm feels like it is kinda numb. I am 40 years old, female and I am over-weight. I do have slight stress issues but nothing out of the ordinary.
after going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that pinching pain or needle pricking pain are not suggestive of any heart disease. If you have any breathlessness or palpitation along with then it will be an issue of concern.
Stress can be culprit for this pinching pain and its advisable to rest and do some meditation.
hopefully this will answer your query.
Kind Regards Dr Navneet Mahajan
