Chest Pain Around And Behind the Heart Posted: 01-13-07 02:47am
If
any one out there has the answer to my ??
A thank-you in advance. I have had a
re-occuring chest pain, on my left side of
the body. That is so sever it takes my
breath away. It starts slowly and with
movement or heat starts to throb. It
feels like its right under the pectoral
muscle, yet there is cramping on the chest
wall. It goes right thru to the shoulder
blade and at its peak it numbs half my arm
and cause it to tingle, until it subsides.
This can last up 15 hours, in pure agony.
Went to the er and was tested and heart
is great And
no blood clots. If it was low potassim
wouldn't that effect all my muscles. The
pain lasts so long, that my whole left
side is very ache and sore, and when I
exert effort with it, the pains come
back??? Any ideas I would be very thank
ful for. I was not working out either due
to sever, chronic illness thanks and have
a great day! Ww

Its good you went to the Doc to rule out
anything serious. I have read about, and
also experience myself random chest pain.
I think the only thing you can do is
relax, I know easier said than done. If it
still persists then I would go back and
check with the doctor again.

Lessened when i stopped taking a drug Posted: 01-24-08 22:18pm
Thank-u for replying, i was on a drug for
IBS and that drug was pulled from the
market, due to heart problems. I was
pissed as it was very helpful.. i stopped
taking the drug as instructed by my GI and
then i started having GI problems that
were sever, so i started taking it again
and bam the chest pain came back with a
vengence.. I have been off the drug now
for awhile and i still have re-occuring
chest pain, how ever not as sever.. my
asthma specialist says that due to heavy
prednisone use, many asthmatics have un-
explained chest pain.. i was not happy
with that and i told him so, so now i have
constant check-ups ecg ect done regularly
so they have something to compare it to,
should something happen with my heart..
Gotta be pro active.. thanks for your
reply, its been awhile since i posted
this. cheers ww
