Pain Middle of Chest of Center Posted: 09-16-05 20:27pm
Hi,
please can someone tell me what this is.
I have had a pain in middle of my chest
for about 5 hours now. Just slightly off
center to the right, an inch or so.. It
feels like a pulled muslce, if I turn left
or right it hurts. I have done nothing
strenious or any exercise to cause this.
No pain in jaw or left arm, only slight
dull weak pain feeling in right arm
sometimes. If feels bruised, like I was
hit in the chest, but I have not been.
Thank you

I'm 33 yrs old, two weeks ago I had a
stent placed in my lad. I had a blockage
of 85% in one artery. My bad chol. Was
over 200. My mother had a massive heart
attack about 1 year ago. The symtoms of
her heart attack were very fresh in my
mind. I though maybe I had pulled a
muscle or something in my arm about 6 to 8
months ago. It felt like I had no
strength in my right arm at all. I
couldn't really lift anything. Most of
the time it ached also. I didn't think
too much about it. Now that I look back
it was the first sign I had felt. When I
knew I was having heart problems I was out
of breath for no good reason, a heavy
feeling in between my breasts, and my
lower jaw was radiating. The weak feeling
in my arm was there the whole time for the
last 6 to 8 months and during the other
symtoms. I went to the emergency and they
ran blood tests and found one of my
hormones from my heart was slightly
elevated. My ekg was normal and my blood
pressure was normal. They said the blood
tests were probably wrong. They didn't
take any chances even though I am only 33
yrs. They kept me over night and the next
day transferred me too a larger hosp, were
they did a heart cath, and found the
blockage. I still can't believe it!
