Allergy On Aspirin, Squeeze In Heart, Unpleasant Feeling. Cure For Symptoms?
Hello,
I am a woman of 61 in pretty good health. I take no medication. The only allergy I have is on aspirin. For the last few weeks I feel a slight squeeze like feeling in my heart. It would come and go, but today it’s more often and a bit longer. It does not hurt, but it’s a very unpleasant feeling. I recently moved to Florida and unfortunately (or fortunately) do not have a family doctor yet. I will make my priority to find one soon. Does this symptom suggest anything and is there anything I need to do now?
Thanks a lot

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM.
tightness and squeezing sensation in chest can be due to many reasons.
you should be very careful because of your age.
aspirin will not cause any of these side effects.
get one chest x ray and ecg done that will rule out any problems reagrding heart and lungs.
visit physcian with the reports for further management.
hope this will help ypu.
