chest and stomach pain

[bevc]

Does anyone else get such horific chest pain that it feels as though they are going to have a heart attack? My stomach looks as though I'm five months pregnant most of the time and my chest hurts so bad.

I've had fibro for 7 years but never had chest pain before up until this last year.

I also get severe chest pain and twice I've thought I was having a heart attack . It's essential to get it checked out to rule out any other cause though . The cause of mine has never been discovered except to say my heart is apparently ok .

It's very scary when it starts.

Oh meant to say , I'm menopausal and last few months I swear I've more belly than when I was pregnant lol. I do have IBS and bloating but I'm following in my mum's footsteps with the belly, she also developed one during the menopause.

Hi Tofty- I get a similar pain in sternum. I can never tell if it's gastro, heart or lungs. Have you had any luck with a diagnosis?
