chest

Avatar n tn Pleuritis and Pulmonary embolism are other possibilities causing shortness of breath with chest pain. A CT scan of the chest can rule out both. Another possibility that can explain the pain is pericarditis. It causes chest pain aggravated by laughing yawning and deep breathing and also causes radiation of pain to arms. Again an EKG, heat echo and chest X-ray is required. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined as a confirmed diagnosis is not possible on net. Take care!
Avatar m tn Two weeks ago, I was at my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class when I noticed that I had pretty significant pain in my chest. Thankfully, I went to the ED where I was found to have some EKG changes and I had bumped by cardiac enzymes. I underwent a cath the next morning where I was found to have 80% stenosis in my LAD and otherwise no disease. A drug eluting stent was placed and I have been doing relatively well since (physically great - psychologically not so much...).

Avatar f tn Report said that my lungs are mildly over inflated but no infiltrates or effusions. costophrenic angles are clear. Final impression is negative. Could the over inflation be caused by the way I breathed during the xray? I don't smoke however I live in an area with pollution. I'm a young adult. Are my lungs normal?

Avatar f tn You are old enough to know people who are having a heart attack have chest pain along with left arm pain and SOB The problem is that you are not old enough to have a heart attack, nor are you the correct sex to have a heart attack at your age. Young people who visit this site, and you can certainly do that if you wish, have a tendency to develop the symptoms of other writers on here.
Avatar f tn I think I may have been around 17 years old. As a young adult I started having more chronic pain. I started having pain in my forearms (a dull ache, sometimes throbbing pain, similar to the pain in my joints). Sometimes I would even get random sharp pains in my cheeks, eyes, and head (like an ice pick headache).This hasn't happened for a while.
Avatar m tn it is as if a vise is closing around the chest. The other symptoms are pain in the left arm and pain even in the neck area to raised pulse, sweating and dizziness these all can be an anxiety attack as well. But the pain in the chest like a steel band is being tightened seems to be the deciding factor that speaks of a heart attack.Im not sure of the intensity of your pain.
Avatar f tn There is no special treatment for such injuries, except rest for a period of time after the injury, and then moderate exercise for the next few weeks. If he experiences any chest pain it would be adviseable to take him to a physician, but outside of an anti-inflammatory there is no special protocol for treatment. Splinting is contraindicated.
Avatar f tn I have been having horrible chest pain for four years now and it feels like knives stabbing into my chest. At first it was only on my left side and would last a couple of seconds to an hour. Now it has obviously gotten much worse at will last up to two days at a time, and ocassionally on my right side as well. When this happens I generally have a pain that is also in my left shoulder - same feeling just like a knife stabbing me.

Avatar m tn It usually lasts a few minutes and then goes away. I dont have any other symptoms other than sharp chest pain, pain in my jaw, and left arm. What could this be? Is it possible to have a heart attack at 25?
Avatar f tn I have been having chest pains over the past couple of hours. It has been a steady pain....(7-7.5 on a scale of 1-10)... I've had a little bit of pain in my shoulder as well...What could be causing this? I am 5'8" and I weigh 260. I do have high blood pressure and asthma, (i take Lisinopril and Albuterol for those). My BP has still been running high, although I was just switched to Lisinopril from Propranolol 4 days ago. Should I go to the ER?
671285 tn?1292660161 If a young adult begins having a fast heart beat is this a sign of stress/anxiety of something more serious? The beats come and go depending on the day/mood/activity. What tests will be done to see if this person has a serious heart problem? An EKG? Chest X-ray?
Avatar m tn I am 20 years old and have been experiencing heart palpitations for the last several months. along with these palpitations are a mild chest pain in my left pec and sometimes in my back that almost can be described as tight muscle. I went to a doctor who gave me an ecg and found everything normal, however my heart didnt skip a beat during it.
2181319 tn?1337737809 ve been experiencing a sharp burning pain located just below my sternum on both side of my chest. The pain then expands through my chest and and middle/upper back, neck and shoulder areas. When this happens, i can't slump over or curl up (which is my normal response to pain), because the pain just intensifys. It forces my to sit straight, when i do that, i get extremely dizzy and sick. After about 10-15 minutes the pain begins to fade away. what could be causing this?
