Why was an angio ordered? Do they suspect the heart? I have recently been diagnosed with coronary artery spasms. These feel just like the chest pains I had with my heart attacks, but this last time it wasn't a heart attack. I do have a couple of blockages that do not require intervention at the mmoment, but I was told if the spasms continue that could change. Have they done other tests besides the angio? Give us a few more details.
Pain that starts along my jaw bone and spreads quickly to my chest (Like a really bad case of heartburn) where I have trouble taking deep breaths without pain. I break out in a sweat and feel panicy. It only lasts for a short time but it is starting to worry me. I also have occasional left upper arm pain. Does this sound like heart attack symptoms?
They were picked up on the heart monitors. The pain was very much like the chest pain with my heart attacks. The burning ache in the center of my chest. Not twinges and not going up in my neck or jaw. That was the only difference between the chest pains with heart attacks and the spasms. The spasms seem to stay confined to my chest area. The heart attack chest pains radiated to my jaw, cheekbones and arms.
How do you feel the angina and how do you feel the heart attack I have been told that varies from person to person... in my case I had pain under the left collar bone, a sort of pressure, but I was very surprised when commenting with my cardiologist that I often have blood taste in the mouth and he immediately said that was angina too, in fact he fix it with some nitro patches.
about 6 month ago I was admitted to hospital with a suspected angina attack as I had chest pain, pain in my left arm and jaw, I was given a perscription for asprin and gtn spray. 2 weeks later I had a treadmill test done which came back ok and was toldd to stop taking my medication. since then I have had 3 or 4 bouts of chest pain along with heart flutterings and am wondering if it would be wise to go see my GP again.
I have been in terrible pain today in my lower back, which radiates down my leg...at times it is excruciating...and others its just tingling....from the spot in my back that hurts, all the way down my back feels very hot to the touch, on the right side only, all the way down. The headache and neck pain, arm pain and nausea is back as well today. Has anyone had a similar experience???
These symptoms could be a sign that you are having a heart attack or angina (a pre-heart attack). The pain from this is usually a heaviness in the chest, sometimes associated with shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and /or sweating. It can spread to the shoulders, the jaw, or the left arm. Another cause of chest pain that radiates to the shoulder blades could be a tear in the aorta, which is a medical emergency.
It would be most safe if you were evaluated as soon as possible.
Look out if you experience nausea, cold sweats, pain in jaw, pain that radaiates into the back or down one or both arms along with chest pressure.....it can also feel like indigestion or gas.....normally these symptoms don't go away with rest and last longer than 5-10 minutes. There are many conditions that might cause chest pain that are heart related even if it's not an heart attack......again if its not normal for you get it checked out. I hope this helps!Keep us posted.
I had jaw pain while walking and playing with my son in the pool a few times. The pain brings me to the ground all I can do is lay there until it pass. I also have a hard time breathing short of breath. Is this considered a heart attack? If not then what is it? My father died on the table during bypass at 70 my one brother died at 46 and my other brother at 33. My oldest son has had 12 heart surgery's.
Since then I have had a lot of head aches and a dull aching pain in my jaw joints. The jaw/head pain comes and goes. The chest/back pain has mostly disappeared. However, the jaw pain and headaches are causing anxiety. I went to my dentist and he said I needed to get my wisdom teeth out. Perhaps this is the cause of the jaw pain...
I tend to be a worrier, and believe this may be anxiety. But I'm just not sure.
I have had both, panic attacks for many years and recently a minor heart attack. Both share some common symptoms. I'm not a doctor but I beleive that panic attacks (stress) can ultimately lead to heart disease. In any case, "better off safe than sorry". Get checked out medically. If its panic attacks they can treat it and then you can help with your mother. If its heart problems and you don't catch them early, you can't help anyone.
But the one that would concern me to immediately rule out is a cardiovascular reason. Women in particular can have lower left jaw pain during a heart attack. Now, I know this isn't presenting exactly that way for you but still is worth checking out. If you have any other symptoms with it like shortness of breath or chest discomfort, please go to the ER.
The one thing that I think is fairly common is nerve compression called Trigeminal neuralgia. This is a big reason we get jaw pain.
The only reason why I am concerned is because I have both chest and jaw pain and those are heart attack symptoms. I also have pain in both my arms. A couple days agobefore I went to the doctors I had sweating, pressure in chest, and trouble breathing Is that why the EKG came back normal because those symptoms were gone at the time?
m not 100% sure but i think I may have had a little heart thingy earlier tonight. It would have been a first for me since previous heart attacks were jaw pain, wrist pain only. I was washing dishes up and I had a pain in my mid left chest area and a sudden sweating and out of breath feeling that went away in about five minutes.
I am nervous though, so probably anxiety.
Do you wear a splint for the clinching? If not, you can grind your teeth down so you might have to get your dentist to make one. I have tmj and had to pay an orthodontist $2,300 but it was worth it because within 6 months the jaw pain went away. He said a dentist doesn't know how to make upper jaw splints and guaranteed an upper would work and for 6 years he has been correct.
I threw my dentist's splint away, and stopped asking him any tmj questions.
(had a jaw infection due to wisdom teeth removal and had to go to a hospital an hour and a half away for pain as the hospital near me did nothing but give me a benadryl shot.) luckily not experiencing chest pain, but some abdominal pain if that has any relevancy. I feel very helpless. should I try to go anyway in hopes they take me serious enough?
I was driving home last night in crawling traffic and getting tense to say the least. I experienced a moderate to severe pain in my chest that radiated to my jaw. This happened once before, several months ago, and I attributed to taking supplemenst on an empty stomach. My last BP was 130/72, just last week. I have had neck and headaches for about three weeks, thus the muscle relaxers from my MD. Is there any profit in seing a doctor now that the episode has passed..
