Hello Doctor. Earlier, For A Couple Hours, I’ve Been Feeling

Posted on Wed, 30 Jan 2019

Question: Hello doctor. Earlier, for a couple hours, I’ve been feeling this weird warm slightly tickling feeling in the center of my chest. Later on, I felt sharp pain there for a split second then it goes away. I currently feel light headed and it’s not going away. My left hand feels weird at times and I have random slight head aches from time to time.

Questions so that I can help

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

The good news is that the type of chest pain you are describing is not associated with a problem with the heart.

Can you please tell me the following - that will help me to respond:
1. Your age
2. Are you or have you been taking any medications?
3. Do you have any ongoing health problems/diagnoses?
4. Please describe the weird sensations that your are having in your left hand and when it occurs (ie what movements or other activities make it worse).
5. Are you still light headed when you put your head down at a level lower than your heart (between your legs for example, or lying down)?
6. Have you been under more stress or worry lately?

I'll write back after I hear back from you.
