Hi, it feels like something is poking my heart with something like a straw? it feel likes it is trying to push it through the left side, i occasionally exercise, I also diet.. Could this be something to do with it? Also my chest (female) has been hurting like some one has punched me. Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more. But better to first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac disease. You are mostly having stress and anxiety related symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
