Chest pain

[Natalie1996]

Im 22 years old I've been having chest pains for the last 6 months had loads of ECGs all came back normal blood test come Normal the pain will sometimes travel to my left shoulder

[BUDGIEBURDEKIN]

Hi, I have something like that but I’ve had it for years. Pains like this should be checked out , my pains as I’m told are called (Costco neuritis) and it the inflammation of your rib age joints.

I hope this helps in some way but don’t forget about get back to your Dr.

Good luck.

Philip.

Ive been to my GP loads of times he keeps on telling me to go to AnE because it could lead to a heart attack my GP words not mine 😔

[BUDGIEBURDEKIN in reply to Natalie1996]

Did you go to the A&E, because there could be bad news, anyway ask your GP to refer you to a specialist I’m quite sure they cannot stop you.

In my early das of having costa, I can’t spell words since I was diagnosed with dementia. lol.youll get the answers you seek in time.

[Natalie1996 in reply to BUDGIEBURDEKIN]

I've been to AnE loads of time and I've had an ambulance out loads of time my ECG is always normal my oxygen levels are always 100 percent I've even changed my diet and started to slowly loose weight

[BUDGIEBURDEKIN in reply to Natalie1996]

There’s a lot of us with the problem like you and I suffer, on the NRAS it’s in HealthUnlocked and there are plenty answers on there, I do understand what you are going through so at least you know your not alone. X

[Natalie1996 in reply to BUDGIEBURDEKIN]

Im just getting sick of the pain now and the GP brushing it off and keep on telling me to go to AnE x

Microvascular Angina causes pain but doesn't show up on ecg, bloods or any other test, ask to be referred to a Cardiologist, make sure it's one who recognises MVA.

[Natalie1996 in reply to bantam12]

Ive been tested for all that x

[Natalie1996 in reply to Natalie1996]

Its happened a day after me and my fiance was painting the house were in now x

[Natalie1996 in reply to Natalie1996]

My blood pressure is always spot on x

[bantam12 in reply to Natalie1996]

MVA has nothing to do with blood pressure.

If you've been painting them maybe it's muscular.

[bantam12 in reply to Natalie1996]

As I said it doesn't show on tests, everything will look normal, that's why you need a good Cardiologist who knows about MVA, many don't understand it.

Im just getting sick of the been brushed off by my GP and keep on telling me to go to AnE it's not fair on the AnE department when someone may need the AnE care more then me

[bantam12 in reply to Natalie1996]

See a different GP and ask for a referral.

[Natalie1996 in reply to bantam12]

All of the GP are the same at my doctors im thinking of changing doctors

[BUDGIEBURDEKIN in reply to Natalie1996]

Hi, find a new Dr, it’s not good when the Quack just dismisses you. the young Drs are the best ones because they haven’t yet forgotten lol. There are one or two who still know what they are doing. X

[Natalie1996]

It will hurt even when im in bed chilled out

[Hillwoody]

Does it get worse when you spread your arms out. Is it tender on your breast plate? I would have hoped that A and E would have ruled out Costochondritis, but if not, worth checking out - Often confused with heart attack. My daughter has had it for 6 months - Great results with acupuncture and osteopathy - forget the GPs - There is something called a BackPod which has great reviews -

[Natalie1996]

The pain is constantly there even when im in bed chill out doing nothing

[morphalot]

Sounds to me like gallstones or some sort of bile duct blockage. Ask if you can be referred for a gastroscopy.

[Candy2595]

Sounds like costocondritis, it’s chest spasms, they can shoot to arms etc, as it’s spasms, I imagine it feels like a heart attack, well that’s how I feel with it....

Also gallstones can do this, but the pain is different, sweating, sick, can’t move, crippled in pain, it’s debilitating.

Costocondritis you can move about with, but it’s painful, really painful, gallstones can put you on your knees!!

[BUDGIEBURDEKIN]

You shouldn’t stress about it as that makes it worse, there’s a lot of possibilities on here I’ve just read and there are many more.

Do you suffer from angina or do you have any other illnesses. Have you spoken to a Rhuemtologist because I’m sure they would find what it is and put your mind at ease.

[Natalie1996]

I have no heart problems at all

[Katielucyx]

What sort of pain is it? I’ve been having chest pain for years. Mine is a sharp stabbing pain on the left side over my heart

[Natalie1996]

It's a sharp pain and it's always there

[Katielucyx]

Mine too. Is it left side?

[Natalie1996]

Yeah

[Natalie1996]

Its awful it hurts even when im lied down

[Katielucyx]

Are the pains like sharp lightening bolts if that makes sense? Like a shocking pain?

[Natalie1996]

Shocking pain
