Here I am after 5 years!
Yet with the same problem...
I am 24 years old going on 25 this year....
I am male i do not smoke more than my brother who is 30 years old and I think he is in good health.
I drink occasionally , beer on fridays and saturdays.
Other than what i feel in my heart i appear to be a very healthy guy. I work as an auditor in a "Big-four" firm... And i can handle my engagements very well although there is some heavy workloads at times.
The difference between me and my brother:
I am the serious type.
People have tagged me "Mr serious"
My brother is being tagged as "Mr Jovial".
Yet i have a very beautiful life.... a beautiful and loving girlfriend and my in laws are just as great as my own family...
WHat bothers me:
Since february 2007 I experience something really freaky that i bet don't happen to anybody else!
Sometimes it feels like a light "finger touch to my heart". Like if someone touches my heart - literally. imagine the feeling. if you coud put your hand inside my chest without hearting me and touch my heart... its the same feeling. but it only last 1 second.
It's as if accompanied by the heart beat.
*LUB-pinched-DUB*
Just before posting this question i was lying down on my bed. I slept on the left side of my body, and like forced myself to relax, and there it goes. pinching sensation in the heart again.
soemtimes it's mild and sometimes its quite hard. I think it depends on the way my heart beats.
if it beats quite hard like "pounding" , if the pinching occurs, i feel it harder....
I have been to 3 different cardiologist.
3 times EKG. all tests normal
1 time ecocardiogram. nothing unusual found.
valves normal
But i know something is not right with me.
Why me?
It really scares me :(
Every day i feel this...
only very rarely i can go on without noticing it... maybe 3 or 4 weeks per year i dont feel it.
but 48 weeks / 52 .... it really bothers me sometimes.
it come and goes every day... toda i felt it 2 times....
when it occured the first time i would feel it more....
More info: I also feel muscle twitching in my calves on a regular basis....since 6- 7 years. ITS THE SAME FEELING IN MY HEART. But given that the heart is a very sensitive muscle, the sensation really freaks me out.
My BP tends to be higher than normal most of the time it is 14/80.
