Is it always a symptom of heart disease?
Recently, he has been stabbing me a lot on the breastbone. Could it be heart disease? ~ olo
It may be a heart disease, but the aforementioned pain also has completely different causes – there is too little data in the question to give a definite answer. Very often, pain behind the sternum is a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It can also be a form of neuralgia. Either way, ailments should not be taken lightly. Please visit a primary care physician who will take care of comprehensive diagnostics.
