Sharp chest pain

So I’ve been dealing with sharp stabbing pains in the left side of my chest for a number of years now.

The pains are very sharp in nature and very scary as they are directly over my heart.

I will go through stages where il get them a number of times a day, then after a few weeks it will go away for a bit and then return. They are very random and come out of no where.

I’ve seen different GPS about it, and been to A&E. I’ve been told it’s anxiety, been told it’s GETD, been told it’s prodordical catch syndrome. I’ve had ECG and it was clear.

It really is taking over my life and it gets me so down. I just wish I could find some answers.

See a McTimony chiropractor. Could be a over contracted muscle clamping on a nerve. This may be referred pain. The area causing the problem is some distance away from the site of the pain. Have no idea if I am right or wrong.

I have had this sort of pain. It is related to wanting to empty the bladder on a number of occasions. This probably just applies to me. In this case I have tightened a series of small muscles and one small muscle just happened to have tightened on a nerve.

The above would not be picked up by standard medical testing.
