Avatar f tn Hi I have been having chest pain for over a month. I have the pain every day I noticed I have a lump on my chest and it's very sore when I press it. I have been to the doctors and hospital and had an ecg done that came back normal. It's more recently I have discovered this lump but the docs don't know it's there what could this lump be? I know I need to go back to the doctors to get it checked but I'm just wondering if any body knows what it could be.
Avatar n tn Coronary artery spasm, which tends to cause episodes of chest pain, can occur with activity or at rest. It may coexist with coronary artery disease — a buildup of plaques in the coronary arteries. Chest pain has many underlyying causes. You may be able to do a differential diagnosis by identifying non-cardiac causes that do not relate to your condition: ■Heartburn.

Avatar n tn What does it mean when you experience pain in the middle of the chest and up to the lower jaw and then to the left arm??
Avatar f tn Breathing came more easily when I was sitting up, but there was no releif from the odd chest pain. Usually, before vommiting, you get that unmistakable feeling in your stomach, telling you that you'd better rush to the bathroom. Well, without so much as that feeling as a warning, I threw up. Immediately after vommiting, the chest pain was gone. This is the second time within 2 months that this has occured, happening exactly the same way both times.
Avatar f tn I have had 1 stent and still have chest pain. Resently had another cath it was negative. Why do I have the pain ? I have negative GI test, stress test and echo. I know something is still wrong. I have pian in my chest and mid upper back this is relieved by nitro. The sysptoms stopped after the first stent now they are back but the cath report was good. Should I just forget this or is it a reason to be concerned?

I have been having pain behind my breast for 2 years and I have test negative for everything EKG, stress test, thyroid, etc..
Avatar n tn Like everyone else says, she cannot function when the spasm occurs. Some times she feels the tightening in the chest and other times a burning. She has had endoscope tests for viral infections and signs of damage and nothing has shown up. Barium swallow was normal. Colonoscopy was normal, blood work was normal for signs of infection and liver, pancrease and gall bladder function. Ultrasound showed no inflammation or gall stones. Echocardiagram was normal.
1346447 tn?1327862572 It would be difficult to conclude a prior heart spasm caused your heart attack especially when there is evidence of occlusions that may have caused an ischemic heart attack. Unless there is some objective evidence of spasms (seen during test, etc.) the analysis may only include the objective evidence of your occlusions. Demographics may be considered such as most common with younger adults, but older individuals can have episodes especially in older women.
Avatar m tn I am gonig to see a doctor tomorrow morning. could this be a chest spasm it lasted 1 second and happened twice one after the other. Was it a chest spasm or a heart flutter? Extra Information. I'm from the United Kingdom and i'm 20 years of old. I've had a previous ECG (Resting ECG test) a month a go, the results came back "NORMAL". I'm on no medication. i'm slightly underwight for my age and hieght. Like mentioned I suffer from anxiety and hypochondriasis.
Avatar f tn how awful i do know several people who have coughed and thrown their back into spasm. the symptoms of a back spasm can include the feelings you describe in addition to back pain.
187666 tn?1331173345 Is there a way to tell the difference between typical chest pain vs. pain in the esophagus. Usually when I get what I call chest pain, it happens suddenly upon exertion and feels like someone put my heart in a vise, deep squeezing pain. It stops pretty quickly if I stop moving. The past few days (and right at this moment) I'm getting this dull ache right down the middle from my throat to the middle of my chest. Makes me cough and I have a bit of a headache.
Avatar m tn I have Prinzmetal Angina attacks and have never had it cause tachycardia. If I am having tachycardia then sometimes my arteries will constict and I will get angina. Usually people who have this type of angina have other vessels that constrict. I, myself, also have Raynaurds. Also people who have tachycardia problems actually relate the pounding as chest pain; it's not.
Avatar m tn I am male 46 years old with severe health anxiety since 12 years. Since childhood I have been a worrier, very sensitive & fearful. I struggle with unemployment after marriage & HIV fear for 2 years. Since last 12 years I have obsessing about heart related fear, heart attack, heart disease, arrhythmia, angina etc. Time to time I was being occupied & living with fear that, something happened to my heart.
Avatar n tn I would wake up not breathing, with a terrible pain in my chest. Other days I would just wake with chest pain. The important thing I was told with GERD related chest pain is that the pain will go away after a few seconds or a minute. It can also cause esophageal spasms, which are like severe hiccups to me. Very horrible thing to wake up to.
Avatar n tn recently i have been having REALLY SHARP chest pains that come and go, they last for about 4 or 5 seconds then go away, the pain is located near the right and center of my chest, sometimes the pain will shift to the left center side, or occasionally the left or right sides of my chest near the armpit, it's been going on for a little while even while i was working out but not as often, it feels almost like a heart attack and i have had several EKG's done and basic blood work and they say
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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have cardiac syndrome x with ischemic heart disease. On Saturday I woken up by extreme crushing pain to my chest which radiated to both arms, neck and jaw, which lasted for about 30 mins. I had an abnormal ecg and at A&E they said they thought I had had a cardiac spasm. Since then I have had mild palpations and breathlessness on exertion. Any ideas please.
Avatar n tn what is the chance of heart attack if the chest pain continue due to coronary artery spasm? can the use if ephedrine cause coronary artery spasm?
Avatar f tn I think it's important to listen to your symptoms, but you shouldn't always fear the worst. Chest pain is really common and coronary artery spasm is not. It's extremely uncommon, far more uncommon than other CAD's. Did you have the EKG done when you had pain? If you did, coronary artery spasm is really unlikely. How low was the bradycardia? Coronary artery spasm manifest on EKG with ST segment elevation, or in some cases depression.
Avatar m tn Can your doctor explain why your symptom of chest pain is helped with nitro? If there is an esophageal disorder, nitro will act on that pain as well as angina (chest pain related to the heart). Esophageal spasms can be the problem or coronary artery spasms. If a coronary spasm is not present during a test, the test may be negative. Also, deep breath pain is usually not associated with a heart disorder.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone else with pots experiences excruciating chest pain? Not just tightness or discomfort, but severe pain, usually accompanied by fast heart rate. I have to take either/both codeine and tramadol and still tend to have some pain. I've been to the ER for it but all tests came back clear and they sent me home with a minimal dose of tramadol so unhelpful. This is along with all my other symptoms, including fainting.
Avatar n tn If you have asthma, the smoking, pollution or any other “deep scent” could aggravate the asthma and make you short of breath. But asthma does not cause chest pain, unless you are also having chest muscle spasm, due to the shortness of breath. If, however, you were found to have coronary artery disease (CAD), you could be having coronary artery spasm in response to any of these scents, especially by cigarette smoke. You should ask your doctors if there is any other reason to suspect CAD.
