What Is The Cause Of Chest Pain?

Hi, I have poking pain .. I feel it exactly where my heart is,where I feel the pumping sound
I've been told I have a mild murmur and nothing to worry about
Not the upper chest area, I thought it's gas at first then it started
To happen more often
I am 34 female, weight 150 lb , has three children's
I have on and off smoking periods thru my life, I have also some anxiety issues
Thanks

Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms are suggestive of Rheumatic heart disease with valvular abnormality.

I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile immediately to confirm the diagnosis.

Avoid stress and anxiety.

Avoid smoking and alcohol.

Drugs like Penicillin and ionotropes will be advised once diagnosis is confirmed.

Monitor blood pressure and heart rate regularly.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
