Hi I m 22 y/o Male, blood pressure, temperature good as of a few weeks ago, but i ve been having some discomfort almost pain in my left chest. The thing that worries me the most is that it s right around my heart or under it. It feels uncomfortable, sometimes like a slight burning, other times sharp pain not to where I m doubled over but to where I notice it and it makes me uneasy. Should I go get this checked out?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It could most probably due to gastritis unrelated to heart.But you need to rule out the heart problem by taking at least an ECG because you can't take risk. So get an ECG and take expert opinion on it. Once it's ruled out you can treated for acidity. Drink lot of water,avoid spicy food, take regularly timed meals, avoid pain killers. If it's still persistent get an endoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
