you should calm down, worring so much pobably isnt good! Im not a dr, and ive only had a little medical training, a dr knows way more than i do. I think if you had all those test done, and they didnt find anything you should be fine. Maybe your arm, wrist and finger pain is from you pulling a musle or something, or maybe even have carpal tunnel, my mom has it, and that is what she says hurts the most, is her arm wrist and fingers. And my heart flutters to, and mostly every one ive asked says theres does to so maybe its normal?

This is just what i think, its from my own experances, so i could be wrong. Hope i helped alittle.

Yes. Anxiety can be experienced without panic attacks. But what you are experiencing sounds an awful lot like panic attacks. Slow your breathing down and breathe real slow.

If the doctors can't find anything wrong with you with all the testing they've done, why do you still believe there is something wrong?

What do your doctors say is causing the pains you feel?

Jodie, don't let anyone tell you it's all in your head if you are feeling pain, including doctors. That is enormously disrespectful. Just because doctors cannot locate the source of the pain doesn't mean that it doesn't exist or isn't legitmate. Doctor's don't know everything; that is why they are called "practicing physicians". There are many instances of doctors being wrong. Be relentless to find answers Jodie...and don't allow anyone to disrespect you by insinuating "you're crazy".

That being said, I read your first post and it sounds exactly like something I have dealt with. Sometimes if I stretch my arms out, or move in an odd position, I get that excruciating cramping feeling in my chest cavity that is hard to pinpoint and it feels like it's going to "pop" or burst. I have two options; either breathe through it so it "twists" and pops which is extrordinarily painful, or breathe shallowly and eventually it will go away.

I have been dealing with this since I was your age (I'm almost double your age now, assuming you are 16) and I have also had EKG's and many other tests done on my system (for other reasons...not for this particular one) and I have been found to be in perfect cardiac health.

Someone explained this pain to me once as a charley horse in the chest; or a lack of oxygen in a muscle. When you move your muscles in one way or another it cuts off the circulation (and oxygen levels) in those cells causing these cramps.

Although I do not have pains in my arms or neck or jaw, this chest pain sounds pretty similar to yours.

I have not thought twice about it for many years.

I hope this helps ease your mind a little...good luck...

Birch and Jodie could this be what is going on with you 2: costocondritis
http://www.heart2hearts.co.uk/costocondrit is.html

I have this and it is basically stress of the joints in your chest. I have EKG's and 2 ER visits when I had my first 2 flares. I could not breath and thought I was having a heart attack. Its worth looking into.
