Why is my heart area hurting?!


Question: Why is my heart area hurting?
OK it starting happening last week, its just a heart burn like feel but its been happening regularly (every 4-5 hours)

Is it just heart burn or worse

Its a minor pain, not severe...

Answers:

Could just be heartburn or something I had at your age called reflux. Reflux is a condition where essentially your stomach flap is staying open allowing stomach acid to come up into your chest and throat area. It is very uncomfortable, causes burning in the chest and throat. However it is something that cannot be diagnosed over the internet. An appointment with your doctor is the best bet. If he suspects reflux he will probably have you drink barium and submit to a tilt table test. They can see the barium via machinery and will tilt you head down on a table to see if the barium travels upward from your stomach. Prescription antacids are the usual treatment.
Don't fool around with chest pain. Getting an idea her is okay, but don't let the comments get you paranoid. See your doctor and find out what is happening.



If you've recently done some hard cardio workouts, your heart can actually bruise the muscle surrounding it, which can feel like your chest is sore or bruised.



I would guess it's just acid reflux. Try to avoid foods high in acid. If the pain gets sharp or you become short of breath, see a doctor.



Sounds like aids
