What Can Cause Heart Palpitations And Pain In Chest?
I m 29 year old female. I have no history of heart problems. I m in normal weight range and exercise 3-4 times each week.I have been taking ibuprofen for my sinus infection for about 2 weeks. For the past week, I have been feeling hear palpitations and tightening (not in the chest, just in the heart area). It s worse early in the morning and late at night. What could be the reason?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels. An ecg should be taken to rule out any cardiac problems like ischaemia or dysrhythmia. If BP is high then if possible life style modifications and if not medications should be taken and for cholesterol also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.
