What Is The Cause Of Chest Discomfort?

Normal heart beat. Just feeling of pressure being released and going from chest down to fingertips. It is like something is backing up and then suddenly releases.

This is happening on a regular basis. Like every 5 minutes or so. Have had problems with myocardial valve

in the past.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having problem with heart valves in the past, better to rule out cardiac cause first for your symptoms.
So get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac disease.
Vitamin b12 deficiency can cause similar symptoms.
So get done vitamin b12 level. And if deficiency then you need supplements.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
