my boyfriend is suffering with problems just below where his heart is... he sometimes gets pains in the right side of his chest which makes his fingers on the right side tingle and go numb.... also recently his chest just below where his heart is has started making a funny and very loud noise (which happens every so often), but he can feel it all the time... He has been to the doctors and they said he has just tweeked a nerve, but i feel that it is a bit more than that... after hearing the sound that it makes (like a bop sound... i would say as if two wet things are sticking together (really hard to explain) i think that it may be more than that... hope that you can help me... my boyfriend is only 18 years of age...
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms are not indicative of any serious medical disorder. A musculoskeletal pain or a pinched nerve could explain all this clinical scenario. Anyway, if his problems persist, I recommend consulting with his doctor for some further tests: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study- a nerve conduction study to examine his nerves- a cervical spine X-ray study to investigate for a possible disc herniation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,
