My main concern is jaw pain. After short periods of running I am experiencing pain, specifically around my joints. After doing some light background research I saw this this could be linked to heart disease. Before anyone responds a few points should be made.
-I was tested extensively for heart issues when I was 4 due to a benign heart murmur.
- I have scoliosis which causes one of my legs to be approx .25 inches shorter than the other. I require the use of a lift in one shoe.
have had 3 episodes of pain in my jaw & across my chest for about 30 minutes, had a angiogram today & they found no blockages? Is there something else it could be?
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.
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?
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
It was constant but at points become real intense. When it was intense it felt like the pain was in my jaw on the right side also. I also felt neauseous but this started after awhile of having the pain. From what I have been reading online it sounds like a gallbladder attack to me.
Yesterday and today I had diarrhea right after eating lunch. This has been happening to me at different points for almost a year now, anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes after eating.
I have small vessel disease and have had a few heart attacks. My chest pain with the spasms and the angina have always been the same. Burning ache that radiates up to my jaw and at times as far as my cheek bones. It is always dead center in my chest. But the best way I can describe it is a burning ache. Not pain. I even have problems with upper back discomfort. I describe that as a pins and needles sensation with a back ache.
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.
While a racing heart can be a manifestation of panic attacks (especially in your age group), you do have other features which are more concerning: increased episodes, chest/jaw tightness and a family history of heart problems. You also mention a prior use of dangerous stimulants. A history of cocaine use may lead to cardiovascular issues at an earlier age (though 21 is still quite young). A prior history of IV drug use also has its share of consequences (such as heart infection).
if you arent happy with the answers you need to go back to your doctor, heart failure can be treated and needs treating signs of it are swelling of the ankles and breathlessness, it will eventually cause death
this is quite serious condition, go straight back to your doctor, as pain in the jaw is a sign of a heart attack, if you have had a heart attack you will need an angiogram to see if there is damage or blockages and may need a stent.
In additional to all of my other issues post baby, I am hav developed random shooting pain in my jaw. no chest or arm pain.....i went to my dentiist who thinks I am clenching...and apparently on the same side there is nerve damage to one of my teeth. could this be all it is?!? i am also getting panic attacks with post partum anxiety so am nervous this could all be my heart. i am a 29 year old healthy female, 2 babies....
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 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???
