Hi im experiencing chest pain lately and its like my heart is being poke with a sharp object and it hurts more when i do deep breathing at the thought that it will stop the pain. Also, my hands get numb and sometimes i feel a lil bit dizzy. I thought that maybe its because of stress from work so I took a 2 week vacation but its still doing it. i even experienced it while on vacation doing nothing. im kinda scared because i had a heart issue when i was young and i cant remember what its called. all i can remember is that i had a medication and we constantly went to the hospital for check ups but i think that was just for a short period of time. Do you think these are symptoms of something serious?
Hi Noname,
Yes, I think it is serious.
Chest pain alone is reason to see your doctor. Add in the numbness in your hands and dizziness and you definitely need to see a doctor - NOW.
It may be cardiac related. We can't know without a full history and exam. That's why you need to see your doctor.
Good luck.
