My patients are noticing my discomfort and that concerns me because patients should not worry about their techs.
I'm a 28 year old HS spanish teacher. I have been have pain in my left chest and left arm for some time now but the pains have been increasing in frequency, duration and severity. It started with just a pain in my chest and has recently spread to my left arm. The pains occur at all hours whether I am at rest or excerzising. I am at an unhealthy weight of 293lbs at 5'10". The last time my vitals were taken (last week 9/8/10) My Resting BPM was 61, my blood pressure was around 132/80.
The symptom isn't due to any heart issue as inspiration should cause chest pain or any chest discomfort. However, that doesn't rule out your having a heart issue concomitant with another medical concern. Is your heart rate normal at rest? Do you know your blood pressure? I'm not sure how a thyroid gland removed effects the body system, and whether or not that can be the underlying cause, but the matter should be discussed with your health care provider.
Most lung or chest wall pain, which includes the ribs, muscles, cartilage, etc, occurs with inspiration as does classic pleurisy. Still, the pain you describe is worrisome and calls for further investigation. I wonder about the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis “most of my life”. If it began in childhood, for example, and especially if it is not related to cigarette smoking, it may not be chronic bronchitis, but rather some other type of chronic lung disease, including asthma.
Please can you help me, my partner has been (rushed) admitted into hospital with raised diaphragm on the left lung (2 weeks ago), this has caused shortness of breath and severe pain....hospital have said they dont know what caused it and are just goign to continue to prescribe anti inflamatries.even though diaphormine was given by seringe and that barley took pain away..,also they are sending him home when the cause of problem remains un ressolved...
for a few months I have had worsening sense of deep chest pain very central below breast bone. I feel it when I deep breah (on the inspiration mostly) and when I hunch forward and sometimes lying flat on my back. because it is so deep I think it is either at the spine or the back muscles. That, plus since it seems positional, I'm assuming it is muscular in nature, bad posture maybe.
I also get left arm pain but not when i am having the chest pains(usually about 2 to 5 minutes after). I have had 2 stress echo's, a Cardiac CT, and numerous ekg's. All were excellent(except for the PAC's). Coronary arteries were in pristine condition.
No pain upon exertion. Always at rest. Only twice while at sleep(unless i am sleeping thru pain, which is unlikely as i am a light sleeper). I can not reproduce the pain by twisting, turning, contorting, lifting.
Dear Summer,
Without evaluating you, I cannot tell you what the cause of your chest pain is. I also cannot say if the leg pain is related, or not. I can say that most pediatric and adolescent chest pain that is sharp and worse with inspiration is typically noncardiac chest wall pain. We don't know what causes it, but it's mostly a nuisance and not associated with any disease process. You are 18 now, so you are at age of majority.
In fact, a significant reason for the heart appearing enlarged on a chest X-ray is poor X-ray technique, meaning that the film was shot without the patient taking in a full inspiration. If the picture is less than a full inspiration, it can fool the reader into thinking that the heart is enlarged. I would recommend that you have your primary care provider look at the film and help to put the study results into context of the rest of the history and examination of your daughter.
I want to give all of you some inspiration. I have been on prescribed meds for around 4 years. Opiates/Fentanyl. Finally, I decided to get off of them on Dec 13. Not easy, nothing you ever want to do is easy. Nothing ever comes without a little pain. I went through hell for about three weeks. The Holidays were tough, I admit it. Withdrawal was tough, not going to lie to anyone. My original pain is still with me by the minute.
However, daily, it gets better.
I need much more, including how long it lasts, is it sharp or dull, how severe is it, is it worse with inspiration, and a lot of other questions. Therefore, as far as your chest pain goes, I would definitely have your primary care provider go through this evaluation with you and make sure that the history is reassuring. I can say that the vast majority of chest pain in children and teenagers is not due to the heart, BUT that doesn’t mean that they all aren’t, so do get it checked out.
I saw a neurologist for dizziness, fatigue, paresthesia in extremities. I was ordered an MRI which showed small white spots in frontal cortex only without contrast. Blood tests showed ANA 1:640 and Anticariolipin IgM (+) 27. I have had joint pain in wrist, hands, and back as well as chest pain on inspiration for years. RA (-) as well as XRay's of joints/chest. No rash or fevers, the fatigue is unbearable.I just saw rheumatologist who dx me with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
right rib discomfort, sharp right rib pain, sharp right chest pain, and also the sensation where I cannot get my breath, like something sitting on my rib cage.
Also when I am walking for exercise sometimes I get to the point where I cannot catch my breath. Sometimes also after going to bed at night, I will notice that I cannot breathe in and out with a full inspiration/expiration.
I think many have different kinds of hugs. I think there is something in the Health Pages as well.
ve been having chest pains from time to time but on top of the ribcage, in other words where my chest muscles are. I had pain a week or two ago on my right side, and then on my left side. Today I had these pains which are sharp and last about a second or two, like a poking in the middle, and then a bit more to the right. I was short of breath however I believe it was due to just being anxious and scared. When i started reading some related articles the short of breathness stopped slowly.
The sound usually begins as a single pop in the center of my chest and occurs at late-inspiration, and sometimes one or more pops follow it, at varied areas across my chest. Sometimes I sense that the sounds come more from my throat, and when this happens, it is usually when I exhale rather than inhale. The sounds on inspiration are usually coming more from my chest.
