What Are The Causes For Raw Feeling Under Heart?
My husband has a raw feeling on the left under his heart. Sometimes it triggers his heart. He has had his heart checked and they say nothing is wrong. He has gone to a digestive specialist and they say see a heart doctor. It seems to be getting worse with age. Can you give us a direction to go. It is very frustrating.

Hi,
Burning sensation under the heart may be due to gastritis or peptic ulcer disease.
Also possible with cardiac ischemia.
So you may get one ECG and upper GI endoscopy.
Check blood pressure, use tablet Pantoprazole.
Please consult your physician/cardiologist, they will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
