Hi Everyone!
I am hoping to speak with some of you who have shared the same experience as me. Perhaps your experiences may shed some light and help me find some suggestions next time I visit my GP.
For close to 2 years now I have recurring chest pains. Its is either a sharp pain or a dull ache. (Not the tight gripping feeling commonly associated to Heart Attack Symptoms).
The pain is most found below the rib cage to the left of the sternum. It sometime is a little higher up the ribcage following where i presume the esophagus would be.
I also get a sharp pain in my left arm (not always). It sometime occurs simultaneously with the stomach/chest pain. Like the nerves are connected or something.
I do not have the common sensations associated to heart burn. I either get intense acid reflux which I have associated to the pain. I am also able to regurgitate my food.
I find it happens most on an empty stomach or after a meal (when I am usually regurgitating).
I also have hypertension which is controlled with medication. It is very mild to begin with but thought I bring it up. I have had Electro-Cardio grams, Echo-Cardio grams and Stress Tests to rule out any Heart related illnesses. All tests are normal.
Does anyone have a clue what else could cause a chest pain/Stomach pain to radiate in the left arm? Am I alone with these odd symptoms?
