Heart pain....is death knocking at my door? : (

LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT MYSELF....
I'm a 29yr old male, measure 5'9, and weigh between 245-250lbs (I consider myself obese).

I have a had a history of uncontrolled (never taken meds for high blood pressure) mild high blood pressure (which was first detected at about age 23) and recently quit smoking pot (I was a heavy consistent pot smoker for the last 2 years or so). I've considered myself very inactive as my job requires sitting in front of a computer for most of the day for the last 4 or 5 years and my eating habbits were careless, as I did not watch what I ate (I actually had the tendency to eat out at fast foods alot, including Pizza).

MY CURRENT SYMPTOMS....
It started about 4 to 5 weeks ago when I started having different kind of pains in the left side of my chest approx an inch to the left side of the center of my chest. These pains can range from achy, dullness, heavy pressure, tightness, shocking, squeezing.... with achy, dull and shocking being the most common. The pains come and go ranging from a few seconds to about 5 mins. Sometimes they come more intense than other times. The pains seem to come spurraticly throughout the day and night. At times I can feel the pains with deep breaths and at times I cannot. I don't think anything specific is triggering the pains and I cannot seem to pin down when they often come (there is no certain cycle). It seems they do not necessarily come on with excertion or while exercising, however, I have felt them a few occasions while excersing (for example the first 5 mins), although I was able to finish my excersise with no pain. Sometimes I can feel the pains (also shocking sensations) with what seems to be each heartbeat. I twist and turn to see if the pain is related to possible muscle pain and the pain does not seem to happen with any movemnet or action. At one time, for a period of 3 days in a row I woke up with alot heavyness pressure and pain in my chest and as soon as I would get up it would slowly go away. The pains can become quite frightening, painful and very discomforting. I have had heart palpatations while exercising, but have noticed they have subsided somewhat. This is probably due to the easing in of the excersise from being nonactive for the last 2 years.

WHAT HAPPENED...
For the first few days i brushed it off, in hopes that it would go away, possibly by excersising. I decided to start excersing after I quit smoking and also decided to change my diet. But after a week and a half, I woke up with heavyness in my chest for 2 days in a row, not to mention a continuance of "on and off" pain that ha not gone away, I thought I better seek medical attention by making an appointment with my family doctor. They took me in right away as I complained of chest pains.

They checked my blood pressure and, as usual, mildly high (153/93). They did blood tests and 2 (resting) EKGs which both came back normal (including normal cholesterol). The doctor advised that she felt I may be suffering from GERD (acid reflux) and prescribed some Zantac. She stated she did not think this was a heart realted problem, but to be on the safe side, she has scheduled me for a stress test (treadmill EKG), which is pending on 7/7/08.

Just yesterday I had the most frightening pain of all, I was at work around 9 AM simply walking to my desk when I stopped to chat with a co-worker, while talking all of a sudden I felt what seemed like a crushing chest pain with a spasm mixed in around or where my heart is. It lasted about 7-10 seconds and slowly went away. I freaked out and quickly rushed to tell my boss. I did not get that same awful pain anymore for the rest of the day. After work I rushed myself to the ER as I was still freaked out. They took me in and did an EKG and chest X-ray immedietley. Both came out normal. This was the 3rd EKG that has came out normal. The doctor stated that the number one rule of thumb was not if the pain did not increase during physical activity then the chances are that it is not heart related and that was a good sign. Ever since that scary incident, I continue to have spurratic chest pains that come and go, but I haven't had the consistent pain that lasted for more than 5 mins since then. (NOTE: I also noted that before I decided to diet, after I ate a heavy meal I would feel my head throbbing, my heart would feel like it was struggling to beat or beating very hard, and I felt very hyperactive).

MY CONCERNS....

My greatest concern is that my chest pain is heart related. Being that I had unctrolled high blood pressure smoked pot heavily, was inactive both at home and at work, Over-ate (Also due to Pot)....... Could this be heart related? Could I have somehow caused damage to my heart? Could I have heart disease?

NOTES TO CONSIDER....

The day before I had that sharp pain that almost sent me to the floor, I had pushed my limits on the treadmill, doing an hour of excerises and somewhat intense. I did not have any pain while on the treadmill that day at all......could that have caused my pain??? Could my heart simply be waking up from being nonactive???

I AM SINKING INTO DEPRESSION...

I'm at a lost. This is causing depression and anxiety in my life (which now seems to alter my symptoms). I cannot concentrate at work (especially when I have spurratic pains in my chest). I am now having trouble sleeping. I dont' know if it's me or if I am sometimes feeling like I am having shortness of breath at night when going to bed. Any help or input would be appreciated. I have a wife and 3 children (ages 6,9,12) that I think of everyday. I am very scared.

Happened at age 40. Doctor told me same things..nothing to worry about its just stress...take a stay vaction. I think the best thing anyone can do is learn to let go of some worries...that is your wake up call . This is helped greatly but I still feeling the pain now and then. I look for laughter, deep breathing and went cold turkey off of caffeine. I drink 10 glasses of water a day, exercise religious 30 minutes or longer cardio three days a week  and watch less negative tv. These seem to help. Life is too short to

Great! Now I'm getting a little more interested or questioning if I should go back in for more tests. They sent me home fine because a blood test They ordered after a Bad EKG showed up said I didn't have a heart attack. I hear the readings can be affected by a voice in the room ect..but thier was none. Could stomache gurgling affect an EKG to say you have a 'contour abnormality consistant with anteroseptal myocardial damage?' i didn't feel anxious at all but they told me it could read like that too? Is that even true? I hear people with good readings following up and with stories and mine came out that they decided needed to go get blood somewhere else just incase had/having heart attack and then would have to go to ER if was the case. I'm still having the pain in left chest but less tightness medicating with ibprofen and or a little asprin and prilosec..and now have a cold sore throat and achey feet maybe pains in left chest bit worse... but could this and the rest of my good stats and age be overshadowing a possible heart prob. as well? Is this blood test really a thing that tells all? What about the unconfirmed abnormal EKG?

At the beginning of all this i was on Metoprolol 25mg 2x day for two months then switched to Toporol xl 25mg 2x day for one month  then phamicist called my doc and suggested 50mg once a day Toporol XL. Then i switched docs  The second dr i seen 7 months ago questioned this as being a possibiltity as where my pains could be comming from.  But it never went any further than that.  I have been on the same dosage for 5 months.  

It does keep my BP in normal range most of the time.  I moved for a job transfer and i went to see a new doctor and my bp was high.  I knew it would be because it always is when i go to the doc.  But i can leave there and go check it somewhere else and it is in normal range.  

I had to be off the meds when i got my treadmill test done.  I did notice less pains but really didnt think about it much because that was when my ANXIETY WAS IN FULL SWING!!!!!  I walked into the cadiologist office and wow did i get scared!!!!  


It probaly is my back issues.  I do have another MRI in about 2 months to look at the lesion in my spine to make sure it isnt anything cancerous i guess.  They are going to do a full spine mri.  And i did separate my left shoulder 13 years ago.  So that could be another issue.  But i thank you for your time.

Toporol is a beta blocker and 50mg is quite a high dosage. This will force your heart not to react to stressful situations and should keep your blood pressure down. Some people do experience wierd pains on beta blockers and maybe your GP is willing to do a control situation, i.e. removing the medication for a few days to see if you improve. If not, you can simply return to them.
From your description of getting discomforts in different  positions and relief if you lean back sounds more like a trapped nerve.

One more thing to mention,  The only time i have not noticed pain is when i am sleeping.  Never once have been woken up with pain. I usually only get 5-8 hrs sleep a night.  I am on 50mg Toporol XL for anxiety, Nexium, Xanax (this one helps with pain the most beleive it or not), and sometimes some Ibuprophen (this helps alot too).  

Thanks Ed.

Thanks ed,  

I have noticed that usually most of my pains are related to body position.  For example slouched over in front of the computer or bending over, twisting my torso ect.  If i move back into a normail positon the pains dissapear.  Touching my chest with my chin i will get neck, back, chest and left arm pain.  When i go back to normal position pains are gone.  My hands hurt when i make a fist.  Or when i grab onto something.  I have been a Aircraft Mechanic all of my adult live and spent 12 1/2 yrs active duty Army. It doenst really sound like a tough job but it involves LOTS of climbing, strange body positions ect.  That really took a toll on my body overall.  I have had back pain for many years.  So this is really where i think alot of my pains come from.  

I really dont know which route to take.  This has been going on for about 8 months now.  Anxiety, esophogitis, costocongritis, bronchitis and my back problems are what the docs have said.  I have seen 2 cardiologists, 5 Gp's, GI Doc, many ER docs.  Recently have been going to chiropractor and have noticed some improvements.  and also went to Physical Therapy for about 2 months.  Had ultra sound of all my organs

Wouldnt the CT agiogram pretty much eliminate any concerns for me?  Along with the Calcium Screening Score of 0?  

Oh, i am 32 years old, no drinking smoke about 5 cigs a day,  Cholestorol levels are good even by a Cardiologist stand point.  Eat fairly healthy, and i am pretty active.

I know that my symtoms are not classic sighns but at some point shouldnt i believe the tests performed.  I understand about false positive tests and EKGs arent really that accurate.  Just wanted to add that i have had been in pain during every er trip, during treadmill test, and all other heart tests performed.

For over a year my GP was prescribing Gaviscon due to his strong belief my throat discomfort and chest pains were Stomach related. I had no shortness of breath at that time even when I was working in the building trade. Then, the time came when I had a heart attack and this astonished everyone, including my GP. Not all heart problems give classic signs for Doctors to pick up on. In that year, I had several ECGs which were all normal and my chest xrays were spot on. An echocardiogram revealed nothing because my valves and chambers were in great shape. Troponin levels were normal too, it was only when I had a heart attack that they rose sufficiently to give the game away.
I am not unique in my experiences and I think you are wise to try and eliminate the heart as being the problem.  Since dealing with Cardiologists, I have realised something very important and I think it may help if you think the same way. "You have one chance in life and this is it. Nobody cares about you more than you do. Nobody knows your body more than you do. Doctors are human and can/do make misjudgements and many are being sued all over the world all the time. You are entitled to your life as much as any other human being and so you need to ensure this remains an option."
When you speak to cardiologists etc, don't be intimidated, they are human just like you and I, if you doubt something or want to question them, tell them. Even if it turns out to be nothing to do with your heart, you will have peace of mind and be able to relax and get on with life. It's so easy to be told its 'probably nothing' but when our body tells us otherwise, that isnt good enough. Please pursue the possibility of your heart being the problem because you will not enjoy life until you get the answers.

I know with my issues i feel best in the morning and worst in the afternoon..They can happen at almost anytime, short of strenuous activity or if im doing busy work (mind completely distracted).  All my pains are very localized and i have 0 SOB.  Had Treadmill test, Calcuim scoreing (0), echo (normal), Corotid doppler (normal), CT angiogram (normal), countless EKG's (all normal), probably 10 gallons of blood drawn (LOL), EGD (esophogitis), Ct of abdomen (diverticulitis the one without infection), MRI of c-spine( a few bulging disks 1 small lesion in c5 disk and narrowing of the canal), Many ER trips (for chest pain and nothing found),  

I have lots of abdomen pains, sharp pains in arms, legs, neck, jaw, hands, fingers, feet,  LOTS OF PAIN IN LOWER, Upper, and Mid-back, (sometimes off centerline to left or righ), shoulders (pains in left side of chest and left arm when i shrug my shoulders or when i stretch my arms over my head).  I really wish i could mentally get over the fackt hat this is not heart realated( well atleast thats  what all the tests have said.  

Im sure i missed something.  I will post if i remember anything.

From what I have read, it seems to me that you could be suffering from unstable angina which is intermittent and rarely presents itself when tests are being performed. With stable angina, you expect a persons symptoms to increase with activity due to restrictions in blood flow. With unstable angina, the arteries, well usually one, goes into a spasm, like it has cramp, restricting blood flow. Episodes can last from seconds to much longer and there is no real successful treatment. In some patients, taking nitro forces the artery back open and keeps it there until the next attack. Maybe ask your cardiologist if he/she thinks this could be the problem. Some people have tests for years until this problem is discovered. Most, but not all, unstable angina sufferers have the discomforts more in the morning and through the day the episodes lessen.

Hi John:
I am mild smoker of 20 years (4-5 ciggs/ day) and occasional heavy drinker. I am 40, male. Do my TMT and blood tests for past 8 or so years, all come clean. I exercise and am training for marathon, and have been active for all of my life.
Did you have any symptoms? Did you do a Tread Mill Test?
I had several instances of chest pain, and all were "muscular" or "acid" after EKG and other tests. Wondering if I should go for a CT, just in case. Maybe doing a CT once every three years seems a good idea, despite what docs say.

Forgot to mention, I apologize I keep adding to your blog..  The electrical sensations you are describing I have experienced as well..  I went to the chiropractor and needed an adjustment BADLY and also had a massage and have not had those sensations since then (knock on wood).  I have also heard acupressure (such as a pedicure) in certain spots of the body can help with anxiety, panic, sleep, heart and lung ailments, etc..  I am willing to look into anything if anyone has any other suggestions.  The library and your own research is the best research of all.  I do alot of "teaching" to my doctors.  All I want to do is avoid my problems from happening to anyone else just because we are "too young" or "its just anxiety"..

Chest pain, in my opinion, is one of the worst types of symptoms to have.  It can be caused by SOOOO many different things and often times, people are written off because we are "too young" to be concerned, or we have a "history of anxiety" so it is just anxiety.  I was reading through alot of everyone's symptoms and I am assuming everyone has had recent lab work?  Alot of these symptoms can be due to hypo or hyperthyroidism, hypo or hyperglycemia, or even dehydration, allergies, exposure to different temperatures, pollution, etc................  Please make sure to follow up with doctors on a regular basis, keep your scheduled appts, make sure your lab work is done on a regular basis.  Monitor your blood pressure, keep a diary of your symptoms, what you ate, what you were doing, how you felt, etc..  Pulse rate is also very important and medications taken are important in your diary.  This can be very helpful to your doctor to look through and see the next step in your treatment plan.  Also, even those that do not have "heart problems", there are cardiology groups, or even some primary care groups that offer cardiac rehab or monitored programs where you can go in and there is medical staff monitoring your activity level and teaching you the proper steps as you learn or start a regimen for heart health, activity, etc..  Make sure to consult your physician before starting or increasing any activity when you are having these symptoms, if you have any underlying health problems (high blood pressure, obesity, etc) and you have been sedentary for any length of time.  It is also recommended for those that are "healthy" and over age 35 to consult their physician before starting any regimen.  If you are on medications, follow food and medication interactions, take them as prescribed.  If you are a smoker, stop, if you are on hormones, consult your physician on alternative  methods.  Regardless of your age, keep moving, even stretching, changing positions at your desk at work or on the plane at least every hour and stay hydrated to help in preventing a blood clot.  Okay, time for bed, I do hope this helped someone!  Good luck!

Just wanted to add, NEVER EVER EVER try to "self-diagnose" yourself..  The results could cost you your life!  If you are experiencing new onset chest pain seek immediate medical attention within minutes!  If you have experienced chest pain before, but it is lasting longer than normal, has changed in any way, or occurs with other symptoms (indigestion-especially in women) sweating, dizziness, travels to other areas of the body, seek immediate medical attention within minutes!  If you go to the ER and don't feel comfortable with the diagnosis they are giving you, ask further questions.  You have the right to understand the tests you are receiving, what the results should be and feel free to ask them, "okay, I have all these symptoms, when do I know when I am supposed to go to ER"..  If you experience anxiety or have been diagnosed with anxiety and your medications you take for anxiety are not helping your chest pain, seek medical attention.  If you have been diagnosed with asthma and your rescue inhalers are not relieving your shortness of breath or chest pain, seek medical attention, etc.  If you have been given Nitroglycerin and after following your doctor's instructions (for example take one every 5 minutes for 15 minutes, not to exceed 3 tablets under tongue) and your symptoms continue, seek medical attention.  Take your life seriously..  Again, don't hesitate to ask for a second opinion.  If may help to go to another ER next time your symptoms return to see if they have any other options or treatments for you.  Remember, only YOU know your body!  Take care everyone!

Hi there!  After reading your post, I wanted to share some of my experiences with you.  First of all, I am in the medical field, and after having 3 blood clots at age 31 I have learned enough to make anyone anxious, my anxiety is through the roof when it comes to thinking if it's cardiac related, are the doctor's sure?, etc..  I know EXACTLY what you are saying.  First, let me tell you about a conditioin known as Atrial Fibrillation, this is an arrythmia (irregular heart beat) that can cause some of the symptoms you are describing and it is not uncommon in marijuana use (or former use) at any age.  I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and have basically narrowed it down to it occuring after I vomit (with the flu, etc)..  But again, very scary symptoms.  Of course, very hard to "catch" the episode at an ER visit, so would recommend holter monitoring (for 24 hours) and to ease your mind further an event monitor (can be worn for 2 weeks- one month) depending on what your cardiologist approves of.  Other things that are known to cause chest pain..  GERD, Stress, Anxiety, sleep disturbances, smoking, illicit drug use, different herbs (green tea, ginseng, bitter orange to name a few), electrolyte disturbances (lab work can rule this out), dehydration, caffeine, alcohol, high altitudes, asthma, back and/or rib problems, lung problems, pulmonary hypertension, blood clots, infections, inflammation, gallstones, pancratitis, fibromyalgia, depression, using decongestants or antihistamines, the list goes on and on.  I would suggest if you have a good cardiologist and a good pulmonologist (they will run all the tests to rule out the "emergent" causes) they will refer you to the proper specialists to look further for the cause.  Don't be alarmed if they suggest a psychiatric consult or a visit to a good counselor.  That can help tremendously.  Try your best to deep breathe, relaxation techniques, not eating at least 4 hours before laying down, eliminating the above triggers from your life and of course DO NOT try any new over the counter meds or herbs or prescriptions without your doctor's approval and make sure ALL of  your doctors are aware of everything you are taking.  I hope this helps, and it should ease your mind when you find the "right" group of doctors.  Keep searching until you find one..  We are all in this together!  Take care and best of luck!  Don't ever hesitate to go to ER if your symptoms are worsening, or you want to make sure it is not your heart.  It is better to be on the safe side.

I have had the worst 8 months of my life.  First, let me start by saying, I am a 31 year old female.  I had a PICC line removed from an infection from an ear surgery and the day after I began to complain of chest pain, shortness of breath..  I went to 3 different hospitals within 3 weeks and was told "all anxiety, labs fine", finally the day after my birthday I found an ER that did a CT scan for my peace of mind and found 2 blood clots in my lungs.  Needless to say, my "anxiety problem" is now out of control.  They put my on blood thinners, then while on blood thinners I developed a clot in my thigh, then they placed a filter in my inferior vena cava to hopefully prevent a clot in my lungs, and ever since the filter was placed my chest pains have worsened..  Even on pain medication..  I can be okay one day, then chest pains on and off the next two days.  I have tried xanax, nexium, prilosec, tums, ativan, switching around anti-depressants..  Everything.  I now have a pulmonologist, cardiologist, hematologist, gynecologist, gastroenterologist, primary care doctor, rheumatologist..  Think that's enough..  covered every specialist known to man almost!  NOT FUN!  I have had numerous tests to rule out cardiac chest pain, I do have mild asthma and mild pulmonary hypertension, but doctors don't seem to think that is causing my pain.  I do have shortness of breath occasionally with the pain.  I have gone into Atrial Fibrillation twice within last year, this can happen at any age, even in "healthy" young people.  I will post a comment on that shortly..  The rheumatologist says I have fibromyalgia withouth the joint tenderness?  I have been told everything from anxiety, pleurisy, all sorts of reasons for the pain..  What is a person supposed to do?  My best advice, you are the one who knows your body.  If the doctor's answer doesn't "help" you, seek another opinion.  Only you know what you are going through.  Good luck to all of you!

I would not put too much stock in an EKG - people have been known to have a perfect EKG indicating all is fine, and walk out having a heart attack within days.  Push for more answers - go see different doctors.  Anxiety can cause chest pain, but get your questions answered.  You could be searching for something other than a blockage.  You are doing the right thing by listening to your body!  Adding you to my prayer list . . .

You wrote: "I need to know what is wrong with me and be put on meds cause the only thing I am taking right now is Aspirin (which I take at night because that is when I have noticed the chest pains stronger) and Zantac."

How long have you been on the Aspirin?
Do you sleep on your back and is the pain worse when you do?
Does anything relief your back pain? Any position?

Aspirin can mask certain heart conditions and make them appear nearly non-existent. This happened to me and delayed my diagnosis. I was low-dose Aspirin and it masked my Pericarditis. When I started bleeding from the low-dose Aspirin and quit taking it, I got diagnosed with Pericarditis. It took about two weeks for my body have enough normal platelets and then wham! - Pericarditis showed up. Why? Aspirin is one of the treatments for Pericarditis.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Interestingly, after being treated for Pericarditis my sleep apnea disappeared. Makes me wonder if it was sleep apnea at all.

Predaphin:Remember this.Symptoms cause anxiety
which cause more symptoms which cause more anxiety which cause more.....well,you get the drift.Add a dash of GERD;maybe a little high blood pressure;some over sensitive self monitoring;and BADA-BING!!!!You're generating enough nervous energy to drive yourself nuts! Objectively analyze your results then act to  pursue a healthy lifestyle.I have found many of the writings of Dr. Andrew Weil to be helpful.Also the book The South Beach Heart Program by Arthur Agatston,M.D. was very instructive.This comes from someone who had all your symtoms for YEARS.Maybe that is why I ended up having heart problems in the end.Or it could be my genetic factors.....who knows?????Only GOD.....Remember...Enjoy life.Do what you are.Love your children.Have faith.......the rest is in God's plan................Good Luck   JHH
