Causes of dull pain below the heart

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xin
If there is a dull pain below the heart, it may be caused by heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, myocarditis, or myocardial infarction. It could also result from other conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux or intercostal neuralgia. Therefore, if such symptoms occur, it is best to seek medical attention promptly. Based on the patient's symptoms, physical examination findings, and tests such as electrocardiogram and echocardiography, the underlying cause can be identified and treated accordingly. Additionally, patients are advised to improve unhealthy lifestyle habits—such as quitting smoking, controlling diet, and engaging in moderate exercise—to promote better heart health.
