I have been having what I've been calling
'chest pains' for about 3 years now. First
it seemed like a heart problem because the
pain was in the middle of my chest but
more towards the left side. The pain comes
suddenly and randomly. Sometimes I feel
stabbing, other times I feel severe
pressure. Now, just in the last few
months, I've noticed that it has also
migrated down under the rib cage right
under my left breast. It alternates
between the two areas. In addition to the
outbursts of pain, most the time I get
tired easily, have migraines often, get
chills and hot flashes, my limbs fall
asleep often, and I'm just not as
physically well as a 21 year old, average
built woman should be. All routine tests
come back fine, blood work is fine, chest
xray is supposedly fine, holtor monitor
showed no results. Any clues??? Thanks!

do you drink or smoke?
what do you do for a living?
do you exercise?

TOS sounds interesting. I definitely have
alot of those symptoms. I'll keep looking
into it.
I do not drink or smoke. I am a stay at
home mom and wife. I don't exercise much
except walking with my children and using
a gazelle a few times a week, but I'm at a
very healthy weight.

thank you for your answer.
sounds like you do lead a rather healthy
lifestyle. it is nevertheless strange to
experience physical problems with your
heart at such a young age.
is there anything worrying you?

No, nothing's worrying me at the moment,
except for the usual, haha!
