[bellalew]

hi all, can i ask if anyone has had this feelin i keep getting near the left underside of my heart? it may sound weird, but i can only explain it as if, its either something swelled there, or a ball of fluid or a nipping sensation, i just know i can feel something there that i havent felt before its not there all the time,but its been happening on and off for the past few months now,its worrying me sick,dose anyone know why or what it could be? i keep thinking is a vein in my heart blocked?,im realy feeling frightened about this,i hope someone can ease my mind.xx.

Hi, can I ask if youve ever had any tests like ecg etc? Have you started any new medications?
I dont take any meds but do get a similar feeling......by the way, heart pain proper is never felt in the heart. This could be something you are eating, or anxiety related. If youve never hseen your gp for tests, can I suggest you do this first for reassurance. Hope you feel better soon x

Hi
I get something similar, sometimes preceeding my ectopics, thumps and 'missed' beats. Its like someone is holding my heart or like its rattling around inside my chest.

As mentioned above, its always worth getting your heart checked out - get the full hit - 24hr ecg, echo test, excercise test (im sure there are others too). The chances are that your heart is fine and these will be benign feelings of which theres plenty posted about on these boards.

Getting these tests done will at least give you some confidence and reassurance that your ticker is doing its job properly.
