I am 20 years old, 6'2 and 350 lbs. I am trying my best to loose weight.
In the past 4 years, I have been in the er about 5 times due to chest pain, and shortness of breath. The first few times I went to the er spent a few hours and then I was fine. 2 years ago I had the same problem and was fine. In the past I have had ekg's and x-rays as well as blood and urine work every time I am in the er. 2 years ago I decided to go to the er, in october. It will be 2 years this coming october. I had another ekg or ecg an echocardiogram, a stress test as well as wearing a halter monitor for 24 hrs. All of these tests came back negative and I was deemed a healthy guy.
In 20th of august of 2004 it happened again, I went to er and they ran the ekg, chest x-ray, blood and urine. All came back fine and then I started school and was fine for 1 year.
In the 20's of august 2005 I has the same exact thing almost 1 year later. The whole prior year was fine with no problems. I went to the er and they ran the same tests and I was fine.
The pain I am having is right about 75% of the way from the left nipple to the center of the chest. I also then get pain on the of my body, 100% to the left from the nipple, though this pain is sharper and doesn’t stay. The pain in chest from a scale to 1-10 is about a 2. I also get pain in my left arm. I also get random headaches which don’t stay. They just move around.
I went to my general physician or primary care doctor today sept 13th. I had a full physical and he did the ekg. All was fine. A few times in the hospital, 2 dr's. Told me that it was gerd or acid reflux disease. Somehow I don’t beleive that it’s gerd or something with my digestive tract.
I know it’s either the heart or something circulatory, or maybe im just crazy.
