My heart problem

Published by

I am a 68-year-old retired Civil Servant. I noticed of recent that when I am about to sleep, I will be having some jerky movements of my head and neck with occasional chest pain. My friend who is a Pharmacist think that I have a heart problem. Kindly advise me on what to do.

It is difficult to conclude at this stage that what you have is a Heart Problem. However, in view of your age it will be a good idea to subject yourself to a comprehensive medical examination which among other things will include your Blood Pressure check as well as an ECG ( an examination to determine the  condition of your heart) among other tests. The results of these tests will determine the kind of treatment suitable for you.
