Common Questions and Answers about Chest pain vs indigestion

chest

Avatar f tn I have a pain by my right breast, feels like heart attack but on the wrong side. Its a sharp stabbing pain. I have had it for 2 days now and it isn't getting any better. I think Indigestion but getting concerned now. It is behind the right breast but my breast isn't hurting at all.
Avatar n tn Please dont put off going to the doctor.
Avatar f tn I woke up at about 4 in the morning with horrible chest pain right between my boobs and was up for at least 2 hours. It felt like my breast plate was ripping apart while simultaneously sinking in, making it hard to breathe. I found that it didn't hurt as bad while I was sitting up as it did when I was lying down. Googled it and it seems to be either heartburn from hell or my rib cage expanding to make room for the baby and organs. Has anyone else experienced this??
Avatar f tn Im 31 weeks and sometimes I have chest pain after I eat or drink certain things. That last a long while. Its just indigestion for me.
Avatar f tn m at rest but as soon as the paramedic but a gnt tablet under my tongue the pain disappeared and I havnt had the pain since taking the tablets ,they have also said that some indigestion can present like this but surely the gnt tablet wouldn't cure indigestion would it ?I'm confused now .
Avatar f tn The first time I had indigestion I woke up at 3am with extreme chest pain, it started inbetween my boobs then moved to my whole chest, I couldnt breath very well and was hyperventalating, my heart rate was 120 and bp was 147/97, and I was hot and clamy. Do you feel like your goin to vomit? That is also a sign of indigestion. If the pain is just above your left breast then id suggest calling the ER or L&D and see what they suggest.
Avatar n tn m not sure what your age is, but, you do not want to let any kind of chest pain go on without seeing a Dr. It could be anything from indigestion to a heart problem.
Avatar m tn I felt slightly lightheaded but may have been hyperventilating due to pain and anxiety. No nausea, vomiting. Pain was intense at first--8-9 on a 1-10 scale but the intensity was intermittent--nearly unbearable for a while, decreased a little, bad again, etc. The pain lasted for about 45 minutes, then completely resolved, leaving me totally exhausted. Have had no further symptoms other than fatigue and an occasional mild colicky pain which I associate with gall bladder.
Avatar m tn hi- I have done some research on pcos and ovarian cyst and how they can mimic regnancy symptoms like headaches, bloating, sore/swollen breasts, cramps, back ache...that's what i found via google lol but only those symptoms.. what about discharge (yeallow/creamy white), veins prominent on stomach and chest (i know i'm not making this one up cos i wasn't looking for it..i just took my top off one day and i went holy ****! i'm a road map!
Avatar f tn I been having a chest pain for three days, but it usually pain for 2 hours. Although i have experience these pain before from the past, it usually come and go. But today i have a hard time to digest food, and my stomach feel weird. My whole body is working fine, legs and arm are both function normal, it just that my chest is feeling pain and my body is not digesting food today. So i don't know what is going in on. Please let me know what this is, thank you.
868555 tn?1240913586 At the moment now (12th april) I have been feeling bloated for the past hour or so, I also have a slight burning/discomfort in my chest, just next to where my heart is. The pain is also slightly stabby. I was given Gaviscon by a doctor on Friday for the indigestion and I took some just after tea. However There is still a burning/stabbing pain in my chest, and it moved form my ribs earlier. Also sometimes It feels like I have something wet at the back of my throat that isn't saliva.
Avatar f tn I have really bad chest pain it's a very uncomfortable feeling I'm a Ftm & I'll be 28 weeks tommorow . I never experience nothing like this. It feel like something is trapped in my chest like its a whole lot of pressure. How do I get this to stop??
Avatar f tn I have horrible chest pain on my left side that i can only relieve if i lay on my right. It hurts to take a deep breath in. The last time a similar thing happened was when i was pregnant with my ao son. But it was NOT this severe. I had all kinds of tests done they still dont know what it was. I dont want unnecessary radiation being done to this pregnancy like my last one. What should i do???
Avatar n tn I suffer from pain in my chest and shoulders. Ive had a complete workup and its not my heart. I have indigestion and reflux alot, especially when i lay down. I usually get the chest pains after eating. My heart beats rapidly too. I have a constant ache in my chest. Could it be my gallbladder?
Avatar n tn YES!! I believe I have this as well - ever since my gallbladder being removed, peanuts do not digest and give me chestpain/heartburn/indigestion with in minutes!
Avatar f tn However, it could be indigestion. Alcohol is hard on the esophagus. Hard on the digestive track. And indigestion can feel like chest pain. It's an irritant to the stomach too and can cause gastritis which can cause referred chest pain. But know that BINGE drinking can make your heart beat irregularly. Is drinking something that is essential for you? I would understand that it has an effect every time you do it that can be detrimental to your health.
Avatar f tn however i have been having some palpitations at times and have had really bad crushing like chest pain in the centre of chest. was taken to hospital and the thought it might have been angina had all the test done ie, exercise test which i could not complete due to the pain and had ecgs and blood tests to see if cardiac enzymes were ok. also had various other blood tests and they all came back normal.
Avatar f tn I have been a heavy drinker for two years now. I am 35 years old, 5 foot 10, weigh 180 pounds. I have had a history of high cholesterol and triglycerides, but according to doctors, the ratings were nothing extreme. I have had a pain in the center of my chest for six weeks and it won't go away. I feel it more when I'm lying down and when I take a deep breath. I don't have health insurance so I haven't seen a doctor. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is causing the pain.
Avatar f tn I'm 24 weeks and have been having chest pains. Anyone else have them?
Avatar f tn Kinda like a burning sensation. Indigestion is more like a sharp pain right between your ribs, and sometimes shoots into your back, and it is usually accompanied by heartburn as well. All I know is indigestion was so painful for me. Tums are my best friend!!
Avatar f tn back into my throat, i do feel a slight chest pain when i swallow food. I can feel the lump of food moving slowly down my throat and then experience pain in the middle of my chest as the food is moving further down. I feel very uncomfortable and have a heaviness in the chest at that time. Please advise.
Avatar m tn I am a 36 year old male and tonight I got a very sharp pain in the center of my chest. It feels like it's around the sternum, not inside my chest. It did not affect, nor was it affected by my breathing. The severe pain lasted about 10 minutes and was very scary. Scary enough that I grabbed my cell phone in case I needed to dial 911. The pain was a little more intense if I hunched over. Conversely, if pushed my shoulders back and pushed my chest out, the pain subsided somewhat.
Avatar f tn Ok well this has happened to me more than once already Iv even had to go to the hospital for it but anyways I get this sharp pain in my chest and I can't breathe and I start to sweat and it hurts so bad I can't do anything if I lay down it hurts worse and the only way it goes away is if I throw up and the Dr said it was from heart burn but that's to much for it to be just heart burn don't you lady's think so?
Avatar n tn Heart attack symptoms are different for women and men, and not at all what you see in TV shows. I thought I had indigestion with my first blockage, but I went to the ER because besides the burning ache I had in my chest I also felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest. If it hadn't been for that I would have continued to shrug it off as indigestion. I had pain in my upper back between my shoulder blades with these chest pains, too.
Avatar n tn Nitroglycerin can also relieve esophageal spasm, it's not reliable for differential diagnosis of cardiac vs GI origin for chest pain. I've been through this recently myself and don't have any answers either. Nitro (sublingual) sometimes helped and sometimes didn't. Then on Friday I had a stress echo, my second in six months, again definitely negative. I'm also on Prevacid so my cardiologist doesn't think it's GI related but he also doesn't think it's cardiac.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm a ftm and 2 months pregnant. Today I had really bad chest pains right in the middle of my chest between the boobs, is this normal? I know it's not heartburn it's just a constant pain. It lasted for several hours but has gone away now. Should I be worried ? Call my doc? I'm so confused but don't want to stress out. Thanks.
