Hi im a 47 yr old male...
190 lbs 5.8...in what i think good
health..
my work has quite a bit of pressure but in
no way i think this is related to my
work..
married with 3 kids...family situation
stressfull due to inlaws..however i again
dont think this is related but......
here are the symptoms and they occur very
rare maybe 2 times to 4 a year..and has
been going on for at least 8-10
yrs..although not frequent they are
nontheless stressfull to me...
heavy chest feeling with cramping i would
call it....
the pain bareble but intense radiating to
my back and upwards towards the neck with
what feels like a very mild cramp in neck
muscles..and a faint feeling of this pain
in the back of my eye sockets.
i notice that if im lying in bed and i
stretch different ways it feels so good
and relief...for a few minutes untill a
new wave comes ...again
changing/stretching a different position
gives relief for a bit...
so stretching does relieve the symptom but
does not aleviate..
the middle of my chest by the bottom of
the sternum is tender to the touch.....no
palpitations..... occasionally a feeling
of gas and some times (embarrassed to say
passing gas)
The heaviness in the chest is like a very
heavy object is placed there and the pain
radiates to the left and to the right of
the center of my chest...
Taking Extra strength Tylenol seems to
after 30 to 40 minutes calm the symptoms
down....most of the time
going to the Doctor this week but please
let me know what you think
Thank you very much

Wants me to have a stress test..
Hmmm
somehow i dont think this is the problem
this sort of pain is also manifesting
itself as a pain someone would experience
when a "stitch" is felt but lasts and
lasts//
have not had since i posted ...
when i press in the middle of the sternum
it feels tender and very low level pai.
have had a pinched nerve in my back so did
not do the stress test yet...
Any ideas?
