I had an EKG done today because I was complaining to my doctor about palpitations / brain fog. The EKG showed that I might have an enlarged heart. Im currently experiencing some pain localized around my heart. I have a history of partial pneumothorax in my lung on that side. Should I go to the ER?
Hi Dear XXX! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. According to what you write and the fact that you have the pain, Yes you should go to the ER. It's necessary to rule out any heart problem the one that I'm concern about we call it angina sectors. You have an enlarged heart and also palpitations, foggy brain the doctor will do an ECG to find if the pain comes from the heart. After the doctor rule out heart problem, it has to confirm if you have again pneumothorax with a chest X-ray.Meanwhile, relax, don't do any physical effort that can worsen the pain. Wish you good health! Thank you for using Chat Doctor If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.
