Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 23 year old female who is quite overweight, and I have been experiencing this odd sensation in my chest for about a week or so frequently off and on. I wouldn t say it is tightness but that s really the only word i can think of. It doesn t really hurt, but it is uncomfortable. I have no history of diabetes or asthma, and was able to work out this morning (tae bo cardio) with no problems. I m just nervous as to what is wrong.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your chest discomfort can be because of acute asthma or gastritis but considering the diabetic condition of yours a cardiac evaluation is also required.
It's recommended for you to get an ECG and Echocardiography done and consult a physician with reports for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
