Occasional Chest Pain Coincides with my Heartbeat...What Can Posted: 03-25-06 16:22pm
hey there.....well i have had this
happening to me for a while....but it has
gfotten a bit worse now...i get occasional
chest pains in the left side that coincide
with the beat of my heart...its not sharp
unless i breathe deeper.....sometimes it
happens with physical activity..sometimes
when im resting..but i dont understand
what is going on...my doctor a year ago
had told me that it was nothing to worry
about..that it had something to do with my
heart hitting my chest wall or something
im not sure i cant remeber..anyways it is
really bothersome and i cant seem to find
a medical issue that coincides with these
symptoms..so can you help me??...thanks
alot
According to your age and symptoms (chest
pain) I don’t expect that you have a
heart disease. If you were over 40, I
would consider angina pectoris but at your
age it is nearly impossible. It could be a
muscle pain (it becomes sharper when you
take a deep breath). There is another
possibility, typical for your age, called
dystonia neuron-vegetative (DNV). During
DNV, psycho-emotional suffering is
transformed into a physical symptom
(pain). Pain coinciding with the heartbeat
is typical for DNV. You can request an ECG
to help ease your anxiety. You should also
avoid smoking, alcohol and too much coffee
at this time.
