What Causes Protrusion Of Rib Bone, Heart Palpitations, Insomnia Along With Heart Pressure?

Hi Doctor I have been experiencing the following symptoms for ± 1year: -protruding rib bone, which seems to have gotten gradually worse -palpitations/ inconsistent heart rate -insomnia/ fatigue -dull headache (left-side only) -feeling of pressure over the heart-area -slight dizziness -numbness on left-side of body -tingly -sensation in left hand & left shoulder blade -sensation of tightness over left eye -dull burning sensation over heart-area It can occur during the day, but is most common at night when I m in bed. Please can you advise whether I require medical advice or is this just a common anxiety attack? Thank you, Petula Jackson

The reassuring aspect of what you describe is that it has been present for over one year. Taken together, I would be suspicious that the need is for healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity. Any time that you ask if medical advice is needed, the answer is yes. A simple examination and reassurance are very important to peace of mind even if nothing is found. When you go, the questions for each problem are, when does it start, how long does it last and what makes it better or worse. By asking yourself each question, your question as to whether the sensation is worrisome may be answered.
