Hello doctor,
I have a situation where I lie down and get up, my heart beats fast and dizzy, but when I lie down, my heart beats fast. Sometimes pain in the left chest, sometimes spreading to the right chest. Sometimes the angina goes away for 5 seconds. The doctor told me that my heart is beating fast, is left angina a sign of a heart attack? Thank you doctor.

Hi,
To the question "Is heart palpitations, is left angina a sign of a heart attack?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
In adults, the normal heart rate is around 60 - 100 times/minute, when the heart beats over 100 times/minute, it is called tachycardia, when the heart beats less than 50 times/minute, it is called bradycardia.Angina pectoris is a manifestation of many different diseases. coronary artery disease when left chest pain occurs with exertion, emotion, and subsides at rest, accompanied by cardiovascular risk factors such as: male, older age (greater than 55 years), smoking leaves, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia,...
To determine if you have a heart problem or not you should go to the hospital to be examined by a Cardiologist and perform some necessary tests for definite diagnosis and specific treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vi nmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
