What Causes Pain And Discomfort Around The Chest?

I keep having a little stinging pain in the area (I would assume) where my heart is located. It happens every few minutes only for a few seconds, just long enough for me to notice. I wouldn t call it pain, but maybe discomfort. I am on BP medication for 6 years. BP has been stable all of that time. Currently is 130/80. The only reason I question it, is because of where the discomfort is located. Kind of an important area.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to the muscle fasciculation/twitch, sometime irregular rhythm of the heart, anxiety.
I would suggest to consult the primary care physician for safer side and undergo chest xray, ECG.
If above tests will come normal then nothing to worry.
Apply warm pad application,tablet revital, avoid stress, take healthy diet, do regular exercise like walking and yoga daily in the morning for 45-60 minutes.
Drink plenty of water and take green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits.
Take enough sleep for at least 6-8 hours.
Hope this may help you
