I have had increasing pain in my left chest just under the breast for two weeks. Started out couple of times a day until today with the pain constantly going from a dull burning pain to a sharp stabbing pain. I already take Prilosec and I ve tried tums. it doesn t hurt when breathing deeply any more or less. yesterday, my index finger on the right side started moving rapidly on its own for about 15min about two min apart. Any ideas, trying not to get anxious, could use some ideas.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac chest pain in your case because it is commonly seen in left side of chest. So first get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest pain. Your involuntary finger movement is absolute seen on stress and anxiety. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You will need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright with counselling and anxiolytic
