Q: Sharp pain in testicles accompanied with chest pain in heart
asked by: DoctorQuestion on August 29th, 2007
[filled out personal data according to him]
My boyfriend, now 20, has been experiencing a sharp pain in his testicles accompanied with chest pain by his heart that lasts maybe 10-15 minutes. There is no swelling, no discharge from his penis, no lumps. After his pain he feels as though nothing happened. It happens between periods of several months or years and has happened ever since the age of 12 or 13. He has been to a doctor once, maybe 3 years ago or so, and he said it was normal, that nothing was wrong...something to do with growth, yet at 20 shouldn't growth largely be over with?. It concerns both of us and is unclear of what is causing the pain.
I have researched a bit to see if he would have any conditions and found epididymitis and torsion...but he does not have any swelling or chills or pain while urinating or ejacualting. We both have no idea what it could be. The chest pain strikes me as odd. Thank you for any reply or information.

It doesn’t seem likely to me that pain in the testicles and chest pain are connected. Epididymitis is a painful condition, but the pain is present all the time and there is also swelling and increased local temperature. Testicle torsion is a serious condition and the pain in such case would be unbearable.

In the end, tour boyfriend needs to be examined by an urologist about the pain in the testicles and his chest pain can be explored with a physical examination (auscultation), X-ray image and ECG.
