Chest Pain For 8 Weeks With Heart Beating Hard Please Help! Posted: 02-26-07 18:20pm
I am a 25 y/o male. I have had pain in the
center of chest for about 8 weeks, it
seems to radiate in the center of my chest
directly on the lower sternum, although
within the last few weeks it seems to be
in my outer pecks and into my ribs, my
shoulders are hurting and my neck seems to
give me a lot of trouble. I was dignosed
with costochondritis about 5 weeks ago and
after a round of predinzone, and a few
rounds with ibprofen 800mg, nothing seems
to bring relief. I have had 3 rounds of 12
lead EKG's, x-rays, and blood work, i
assume to check enzyme. All the results
were negative except for a anxious heart
which i was assured was nothing and all
the diagnoses were chest wall
inflammation. I was sick with the noro
virus and vomiting prior to all my
problems starting. Along with some stress.
The real concern that I have is my heart
that seems to beat out of my chest, it
will wake me when i sleep and i can hear
it into my ears. It scares the hell out of
me, then it will pass. I am afraid of any
exercise or excitement due to pounding
heart. The pressure in my chest that seems
constant feels like an elephant sitting on
my trunk. I am currently trying shark
cartlage with no improvement. I was a very
very healthy firefighter and athlete prior
to this and I am praying for life back.
Please anyone help.
Thanks
