Hi im female nearlly 24 and for some time now i get pain in my chest, sometimes a quick sharp pain and sometimes a dull aching pain. i have it every day and its getting more regular. i have had this other symptom the odd time but it has been more noticeable today, it is pulsating in the middle of my stomach between the bottom of my ribs and belly button, its got more noticeable throughout the day. I understand this could have something to do with my aorta? Are both of my symptoms linked? im getting very worried.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Aortic pulsations can be seen in lean and thin individuals. So nothing to worry about this. Your pain is more suggestive of musculoskeletal pain. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
