Reason For Chest Pain While Sitting Or Lying?
Hi, I am 38 years old weight 70 kg height 5.11 smoker. I am having very slight pain on left side of my chest that too not a constant pain just sometime feel like something is pinching but not too intense and that too while I am sitting of lying. Last two weeks I am not having proper break fast and in lunch I go with Salad green! I am assuming that it is mainly due to gastric however, does have a probability of cardiac issue. can you explain it even more. Regards, Sajjad Raza

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since you are smoker, we need to rule out cardiac cause first for your left sided chest pain.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Smoking also causes gastritis.
And this can also cause similar symptoms.
So quit smoking as soon as possible.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Start proton pump inhibitors.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
