@amm97 Im so sorry they haven't found out what the problem is . Welcome to connect we are a caring bunch of people and try to help with out own experience . Id like to invite @johnbishop to come in and help John is a great resource for problems. Id like to ask you have you gone to a university hospital of Mayo clinic if one is near you . They are better at diagnosing as they have more resources available to them . I wish you well.

Hi @amm97, I'm sorry you haven't been able to find any help or diagnosis from your doctors for your chest pain. I have no experience to share with you but there is another similar discussion where you can learn from the experiences of other members discussing chest pain. I'm tagging our moderator @kanaazpereira to see if we can move your post to the following similar discussion:

> Groups > Digestive Health > Months of Chest Pain - Please help
-- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/months-of-chest-pain-please-help/

Have your doctors suggested any other tests or possibilities for the chest pain since the medications have not helped?

@amm97 I too am sorry to know you are having these problems, particularly at such a young age. Also, as others have said, I think you really need to go to a large medical center, preferably a teaching hospital. They see the most so know the most. I don't see where you are from, but there are excellent hospitals in most areas of the country. I am in southern NH and love Mass General. It is rated the #2 hospital in the country, right behind Mayo.
If you don't know which hospitals close to you are highly regarded, a good starting point is the US News ratings. They are pretty much the gold standard of hospital ratings.

I hope you can find something soon that will help to find out what is causing your chest pains and that it will be easily resolved. Please let us know how you are doing.

Perhaps you could ask about esaphagol spasms. Several times I thought I was having a heat attack bit tests showed I did not. My neighbor had similar and they told her in emergency it was a spasm. As I thought about it thinking of the way it came and went, I am pretty sure that is what I was experienced. It is just a thought for you to think about.

Hello @jeanette527, your post to @amm97 was interesting. I did some searching on Mayo Clinic's website and found this information about esophageal spasms. Here is the link, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/esophageal-spasms/symptoms-causes/syc-20372250

@amm97, you might want to read the link and see how it fits your symptoms.

Thank you. That was interesting. I have had them about three times in 15 years. I could tell it was a spasm the way it relaxed as it went away, the pain disappeared immediately when it relaxed. it lasted about 15 minutes and at night. They are very painful

@amm97 Esophageal spasms could be your problem.. usually happens in older people though. Mine were diagnosed through a barium swallow test. Other test are mentioned in the link Teresa mentioned. I have two places where there are spasms.. just beyond the back of my throat and where the esophagus meets the stomach. Sometimes Zofran for nausea helps and sometimes valium helps. Sometimes they just have to pass with time. It seems if I try to do something physical.. like the the laundry .. when having the spasms that the spasms get stronger. Valium seems to help the most when the pain is strongest. I take a pill and lie down on my side and try to relax and usually within an hour or so things are better.

A hiatal hernia can cause similar pain, but that would show up in the ct scan you had. If you have not seen one I would suggest you see a gastroenterologist since heart problems have been ruled out.

Did you ever find out what it was? I am experiencing similar.
