Stinging / Twitch On Left Side Below Collar Bone Area Above Sternal Notch
Hello. I keep having this stinging/twitich on my left side below collar bone area above the sternal notch. It brings me to my knees. I noticed it about three weeks ago. it comes and goes daily but lasts a few hours. The twitching lasts for a few mintues. Feels like stinging. I have been haveing chest pain as well (left sided) comes and goes. I do have Cong. Heart Dz (pulm vavle stenosis & murmur). I have a cardiologist but have been in great cardiac health. Last ECHO & EKG were fine. Any suggestions. It s worrying me. I am not sure if i shoudl call the doc.

A few questions I would like answered.
Does it come on or increase by walking or doing any physical work or just while doing routine work?
Does it seem to worsen every time it comes?
Does it come for a longer duration every time?
If the answer to the three questions is yes then you have what is called angina.
Either way you should definitely have yourself checked out
