Q: Chest Pain ?!
asked by: star_dust_689 on July 11th, 2007

I have been having what I've been calling 'chest pains' for about 3 years now. First it seemed like a heart problem because the pain was in the middle of my chest but more towards the left side. The pain comes suddenly and randomly. Sometimes I feel stabbing, other times I feel severe pressure. Now, just in the last few months, I've noticed that it has also migrated down under the rib cage right under my left breast. It alternates between the two areas. In addition to the outbursts of pain, most the time I get tired easily, have migraines often, get chills and hot flashes, my limbs fall asleep often, and I'm just not as physically well as a 21 year old, average built woman should be. All routine tests come back fine, blood work is fine, chest xray is supposedly fine, holtor monitor showed no results. Any clues??? Thanks!

TOS sounds interesting. I definitely have alot of those symptoms. I'll keep looking into it.

I do not drink or smoke. I am a stay at home mom and wife. I don't exercise much except walking with my children and using a gazelle a few times a week, but I'm at a very healthy weight.

thank you for your answer.

sounds like you do lead a rather healthy lifestyle. it is nevertheless strange to experience physical problems with your heart at such a young age.

is there anything worrying you?
