Hi, I have a herniated disc and the pain is radiating down my leg due to a pinched nerve. Aside from that, sometimes I feel tightness in my chest and heart pounding. I couldnt sleep at all last night because my heart was pounding so much and I was worried what was wrong with me. Does it have anything to do with the pinched nerves or is it something completely unrelated?Age
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. There is no relation between the pounding of heart and pinched nerves at the back due to disc herniation. Disc herniation can explain the radiating pain down your leg. Heart pounding could be related to anxiety. Or else, we need to exclude a cardiac arrhythmia (rhythm abnormalities of the heart). If your heart symptoms persist, please consult a cardiologist. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
