Worried about chest "pain"?
918597
That happens to me too, after I make any sudden movements. I don't think you're going to drop dead from a heart attack any second now, but I do think if you don't do something about it it could lead to heart/chest problems later in life. I'm assuming it's your heart, unless you have a broken upper rib right in the middle of your chest. It's good that you've gone to a doctor to check things out, because you're better safe than sorry. If looking to be on the safe side, you should probably just drink lots of water and eat bananas or something because water flushes all of the bad toxins out of your body.

i'm not sure if this is the same thing but some times i feel a minor discomfort high in my chest, not pain though, not sure how to quantify it, and if i try to turn i feel a tighness and a point of what i'll call pressure. but if i arch my back and puff out my chest the slightest bit there will be a pop where the pressure was and the sensation is gone. its almost in the center of my chest where i am unaware of there being a joint so it always puzzled me too. so if you got what i got i think we'll be fine\n\ni'm a reasonably healthy 26yo just for the sake of info

Well in my case I felt the standard stabbing pain in my chest and a numbness in my left arm, it felt like someone was standing on my chest,couldn't breathe, couldn't hardly move. Broke out in a cold sweat and a feeling that is hard to explain, helplessness came over me. Fear, I knew what was going on, I wasn't afraid honestly ,I thought it was time to check out, my family met with me at the hospital, my brothers, and we talked and even laughed about all the things we had done as kids, I could see fear in thier eyes, I tried to make it easy on them. This was a "Minor" heart attack, it did however do some muscle damage to my heart, and I have suffered 2 more in the last 8 years, all required hospital time. My problems however are not blocked arteries mine is caused by a-fib, an extreme electrical short in the heart. I have been told a pacemaker would be the next step, I am just not sure about having "The Energizer Bunny" regulating my heart beat. You only fear death my friend if you are not sure what awaits you there, I know....and there is nothing to be of afraid of there.\n\nBlessings

Yes this could be from anxiety. The light headedness, and excess swallowing from nervousness, and the shortness of breath from possibly hyperventilating from too much worry about the situation. Id say mild panic attack but the chest pressure with light headedness could mean worse. Id get an ekg and " get it off your chest".

<>You leave out a wealth of information, such as your age and medical history, but....While these are probably very benign pains associated with, say, exercise, muscular contractions, or even stress, any chest pain that bothers you is worthy of being checked.  I say go see a doctor and ask about them.  That way, you can have a clear conscience if he/she can explain them to you.

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

Best bet is to go to the ER when this happens....also there are a few other things that it could be ....but there are many things that go into diagnosing a heart attack....cardiac enzymes,ekg's physical symptoms....but just from the little that you describe it doesnt sound cardiac in nature....what are you doing when this happens?Does the pain move around or change when you change positions? Are you under stress?What is your age??If you're in your 20's for example  its highly unlikely that its cardiac at all though it can happen...There is also a esophageal problem that can mimic a heart attack or feeling of one...best thing to do is go to the ER or call 911 when this happens....the only way to definitively tell if you are having a cardiac event is by many tests including labwork,ekg's,stress tests etc....so next time it happens instead of coming here and asking the question  call 911....

Please see your doctor. People are having heart attacks younger and younger these days. I've lost a couple of good friends because they didn't take heart health seriously. Mainly because they were hardly 30 years old. And heart attacks don't just happen to fat people. I'm not saying this to freak you out. It's so simple to go to the doctor and ask questions. You can prevent so much

Chest pain, chest tightening, palpatations, shortness of breath, etc. can be symptoms of different heart conditions, and should all be checked with your doctor!  \nEat healthy and exercise, even just walking each day is better than nothing.

Stop the jogging and go to a doctor.  \n\nThere is not enough information to give an answer here.  \n1) Do you smoke?\n2) How long have you been jogging or is this new?\n3) Do you have any prior medical history with chest heart or lung?\n4) Does the pain go away quickly after you stop or take hours?\n5) Family history of heart or lung disease?\n6) Are you over weight?\n6) Are you diabetic?\n7) Are you taking medications?

you should see your doctor to rule out something serious. They will make sure it's not your heart.

Please have your heart checked out. I had the same symptoms and they told me in the ER it was indigestion. I had a heart attack.

Actually, it sounds like you're having anxiety attacks.  The symptoms of anxiety attacks often mimic heart attack symptoms and can, therefore, be really frightening.  It's sad that there's a doctor who doesn't seem to take you seriously and who makes you feel like you're just imagining your symptoms.  My advice is to find another doctor and specifically ask about anxiety.  There are medications that can help.

Don't panic..Firstly try to rule out the Reflex acidity(if your pain is associated with indigestion,sore throat,burning type of pain,pain resolving with antacids etc etc)..\nThen try to get an ECG done so that you can rule out any cardic problem(but it seem that this chance is very unlikely by your history)..Lastly don't get anxious and try to resolve things properly ,easily but on time..\n\n\nDo follow the advice given to your Doc religeously.

I would say the key to your question is that the pain intensifies with movement. This is usually not indicative of cardiac problems. Have you tried any over the counter meds for pain relief? If it is not relieved with meds I would suggest a trip to the Dr. but it does seem like muscle or back problem.

Sounds more like a pinched nerve if the ER is saying nothing is wrong.  However, since the ER could not do a stress test or an MRI it is tough to be sure that it is not your heart.
