Hello,
I'm not looking for a diagnosis but some reassurance or some rational ideas would be greatly received. My husband has been having odd bits of chest pain on and off recently which we assumed was a bad case of heartburn. However, Wednesday he had a strange feeling in his chest as though his heart was pounding against his chest, he felt slightly dizzy during this and had chest pain/tightness. I only found out about this yesterday as he didn't want to worry me but he said he had the same thing happen again. He is ringing the doctors once they open back up after Easter and doesn't seem to concerned, he thinks it's high blood pressure because he eats a lot of junk/fatty foods. Could that cause such episodes? He last had his BP checked 18 months ago roughly and it was fine. I'm just worrying here :unsure:
