Welcome to Connect, @bren85044 and @lonewolf85.
I’m tagging @srodriguez @hokiefan @marychapman @mary1121 @hanark0068 @juangarcia90 @bbbogh @izzylt123 @catherinelewis @karolyn as they’ve talked about undiagnosed chest pain, and may be able to share their insights that may help.
I also encourage you to go through these discussions on Connect:
– Ongoing Chest Pain with normal tests https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ongoing-chest-pain-with-normal-tests/
– Chronic Stomach, chest and back pain https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-stomach-chest-and-back-pain/
I can only imagine how frustrating and worrisome undiagnosed chest pain can be, but there are quite a few conditions that can cause this kind of pain – GERD and other gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers, muscle spasms in the esophagus, a gallbladder attack, can cause chest pain and symptoms that mimic those of a heart attack or angina:

However, it is always safer to get it checked out –the more you know, the easier it is to avoid damage.
Based on Mentor @predictable’s post in another conversation, I’d like to ask members in this discussion if you’ve consulted a specialist perhaps, in internal medicine? Or considered getting a diagnosis/treatment from a patient-centered clinic (like Mayo Clinic or a state university institution) that is equipped to examine every possibility? They could provide a second opinion, which might ease some of the uncertainty and stress with which all of you are trying your best to cope.
