QuestionHello doctor,
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel something tight in my left chest (feeling like something is pressing on my chest, uncomfortable), causing anxiety and insomnia. There are times of anxiety, rapid heart rate, cold in the body and tremors in the limbs. I drink hot ginger tea then settle down. I've never had this before, I've seen it more often these days. Doctor let me ask if left chest tightness, tachycardia is a sign of disease? Which specialist should I see? Thank you doctor.

Hi friends,
With the question “What is left chest tightness, tachycardia is a sign of disease? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Left chest tightness can have many causes, from cardiovascular causes to other non-cardiovascular causes (pain caused by muscles, bones, intercostal nerves, gastritis) stomach, esophagus, lung disease, ... or because of psychological stress).
So you can visit a Cardiologist for specific advice. When you visit your doctor, the doctor will check if you have any risk factors for the disease and advise on treatment.
If you still have questions about left chest tightness, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
