Hi Just today after I had lunch, I ate a lot , after few hours I drank apple juice , I drink apple juice everyday, after I drank the juice I start to feel like poking in my chest the heart area, its like needle poking the pain is going and coming , so what could it be? I never had any heart problems before, is it just indigestion ? I had a blood test last month my LDL level is below the normal level because I drink apple juice and jasmine tea everyday, so now what is that poking near my heart?
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry, It's nothing serious. My opinion as a cardiologist is that this is not a heart pain. A typical heart pain is not related whit heating or Chat Doctor.  An ischemic heart pain usually is retrosternal.like heaviness, squeezing, it might irradiate to the arms, it least for 5 to 20 minutes. It is not like a Nile poking and of course it is not related whit heating process. An apple juice can not cause a heart pain. It might be a digestive problem. A gastritis may cause an epigastric, pain.irradiating toward the heart, like burning, poking. The apple juice might aggravate a gastric problem. Or it might be just a random pain because you have eaten a lot. Sometimes a stomach distention gives this kind of discomfort. So my opinion is that you have e nothing to worry about your heart. Keep monitoring this discomfort avoiding they apple juice for a title time and see what happens. Whish I was helpful. Take good care. Best regards.
