A little more description might help.......I am struggling a bit to understand exactly what you meant, and also what might help. Thanks

It’s hard to explain - almost as if on my left - around the dilated part, it’s achy, almost as if it’s tender to the touch - sorry so vague - it’s not an excruciating pain

I’m hoping someone will answer, who might have had something similar.

I can see you have given a bit more of your history in your previous postings.

I did, it got worse on exertion and better with The GTN spray. Does yours?

I wasn’t given any spray - I’ll try to reach someone tomorrow - it’s a strange feeling - but obviously worrying . Thanks Kirsty it’s reassuring to hear someone else has experienced similar

It may we’ll be unrelated but it seems sensible to take it easy til you’ve spoken to someone. For me it was one of many low level symptoms that came and went (and also increased with anxiety annoyingly). The symptoms that I had that were definitely cardiac were feeling like the air was burning as I breathed and armpit pain. All other symptoms could be either cardiac or anxiety. The cardiologist said that the brain can go on high alert and flag any little sensation in the chest area which normally we wouldn’t notice so hopefully it’s just that. Good luck getting answers tomorrow
