[Yalie70]

Hi guys I had a few MI and bypass surgery in 2018 after all that I'm still having massive chest pain but with some meds changed I still feel like I'm having a heart attack but s GP said to me I could have Costochondritis has anyone heard of it

Yes a couple of years ago I was getting severe pain under my ribs and across my back. Went to physio who diagnosed Costa....... she kept it under under control with regular physio and pain killers. 3 months ago I had a heart attack and a stent fitted...docs dont think they are related.

Yes I had this last year after my heart attack/cardiac arrest, had 3 minutes of CPR while in arrest so damaged rib cage and cartilage. It's painful and may persist for quite some time.

Here's a link to the subject on the NHS site:-
