Scared of being misdiagnosed for chest pain

[rcrosby01]

I am a 36yr old female. Have chest pain off and on quite often, practically daily. Also some arm pain, like pinching feeling. Recently I had it so bad and it shot into my left shoulder blade. I have been to my PCP and she says stress and gerd. Cardiologist did EKG and treadmill stress test, which I walked on for 10 minutes with no problems. I recently went to ER for the chest pain. They did blood test, EKG, chest xray and had me on a monitor the time I was there. My bp is 117/76. Yesterday I started getting a pain on the upper right side of my sternum and today it has been off and on on the side all day. All the Dr say it is gerd. Please help

My dad had a stress test done a few years back and had a heart attack less than a month later.  So doctors can be wrong too sometimes.   I think we know our own bodies better sometimes. Keep asking questions if you just know something ain't quite right.

Sounds like you have what I and many other heart sisters have and that is angina in the micros of the heart. But have you had a heart cath? Are they sure you have no blocks or narrowing in your heart vessels?
This is not GERD as I bet you have no digestive issues but if you have some mild signs, be aware that the heart and tummy share a vagus nerve. GERD does NOT give the pain you describe.
Have you watched the TV show I did on this subject of non obstructive heart pain? Let me know.
How can I best help you? And where are you? Hugs Joan
