Pain In Heart Only While Lying On Left Side & Back Posted: 02-23-04 18:05pm
I am 28 yrs old and have been experiencing
sharp pain on my left side under my breast
bone (heart) only when I lie on my left
side or back. I am 2 1/2 months
pregnant, so I am concerned more than I
was before. (i have had the pain on and
off for over about 10 months). I am in
the process of making an appt with a
cardiologist, but would like to get your
opinion as to whether or not it sounds
like I have pericarditis (which I found
during a search on the internet).

Good Idea! Posted: 02-23-04 18:22pm
It is a good idea to have this situation
checked out! But you might also check
this out with your regular physician
instead of waiting too long! I sure
hope it's nothing serious! I have a
situation similar but it is mainly
heartburn mixed with a little anxiety.
Always,

I've had a pain similar to that, but I
think it was a bone injury. I got hit
with a baseball in the chest, and I think
it might have possibly fractured the
sternum, or hurt some cartilage or
something. It stuck with me for about 6
months.

I have a similar problem.Usually during
the night I have a slight pain not so much
a pain but more of a pressure over my
heart.It is also alot more noticeable when
I lay down.It has just started a couple of
weeks ago and I am kinda getting worried
but their is no real pain just a feeling
that is noticeable.Could it be stress or a
heart problem?I haven't had any recent
stress related problems but about a year
ago I had family troubles but I don't know
why I would be getting this now.Also I
have started playing guitar about a month
ago and I was wondering since I am holding
my left arm in an unusual position for
long times that it could cause this
feeling.Any advice or help would be
appreciated.

Could have your back out, acid reflux,
heartburn, anxiety or lots of other
things. Could be nothing, could be
something, so definately go to the doctor.
