Question
Last night, while at work, I suddenly felt a pain near the left atrium. Today in the afternoon, it occurred again, accompanied by numbness in my hands, which can be relieved after activity. The pain worsens when I stop moving. What could this be? Is it a heart problem? I have previously undergone chest X-ray and cardiovascular, spine examinations, and the results were all normal. How should I be treated?
Answer
In this situation, it may be a sign of heart problems. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for an ECG and cardiac Doppler ultrasound to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. If the results of the aforementioned tests are normal, there is no need to worry excessively, but you should pay attention to rest, avoid spicy and greasy foods, maintain good living habits, avoid overtime work, and keep a cheerful mood.
