Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your problem sounds like it could be psychogenic or stress related. So I suggest you counsel with a
psychiatrist regarding this to handle any feelings of anxiety or stress.
However, if you feel this pain is very severe and this is in accordance with the opinion of your psychiatrist and general physician, then you should
consult a cardiologist and get an ECG (
electrocardiography) as well as possibly an echocardiogram to evaluate your heart.
There is also a condition called as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy which causes weakening of the heart muscle on exposure to emotional stress also called as the
Broken Heart syndrome. Your cardiologist will inform you of this.
Until your evaluation, I recommend using breathing exercises and
relaxation techniques such as meditation to deal with any stress you may have.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ankit Gopinath
