Ongoing Chest Pain

Hi, I have been dealing with chest pain for over a month now. Slowly getting refferals. No one seems to be listening to me. I feel its because of my age 32 and Im a female. I have been in the ER 3 times in the last week and a half. Im now short of breath with anything I do. The chest pain is happening to often. I can't do my usual work day anymore without being exhausted. Im losing hope.

Okay, chest pain has been on going since 12 this afternoon. My left leg has
a big bright blue spot on it it hurts. Im so dizzy have a headache and feel nauseous. Im so tired I have the heart monitor on till June 28th. My primary doctor said from my ekg 2 weeks ago that it could be a blockage and circled it on the paper. She then said we just need to wait till the 10th for your stress test. Im not gonna make it through that ugh.....They did not give me anything to lower blood pressure. They also did not give me beta blockers. I have fluid in left lung. They gave me antibiotics and said you have bronchitis. That was last friday. Im miserable made it through bartending today. Now at home hurting

I'm so with you! I have a heart monitor on till June 28th. I do stress test on Monday...which I dont think I'm gonna make it through that test without passing out. Ya my left breast has been hurting now as well. Anything I do I'm out of breath. I then finally see a cardiologist on the 12th. Its been hell just wait oh wait. Just relax take asprin. Its just an anxiety attack....I'm like excuse me!! I had chronic pain for 5 years and didn't take anxiety meds and went to counseling. It ended up being endo in my uterus. I dont have that or my cervix/tubes. If you feel bad you should go in Im rhinking I should I don't think I can make it till Monday.

@ashred Taking Mucinex or the generic might help get the fluid out of your lung. You might also want to see a physical therapist because they have ways to help expel mucous. I hope you feel better. I've had re-occurring issues with bronchitis that starts with allergies that create too much phlegm and it moves to an infection. Controlling allergies is my best defense. I have allergic asthma which doesn't help.

And how about seeing a naturopathic doctor.I stress doctor because they have university degrees. Yes, it costs maybe $60 for half an hour consultation but it is money well spent. You and all of us could do with lifestyle changes and supplement advice. At my naturopathic doctor I had a blood test for allergies/intolerances (interesting what it revealed) and a poop test since I have been on many, many round of antibiotics for recurrent UTIs (and just found the cure) and need to set my gut biome to rights; aka immune system since it is 80% in the gut. We have one life to live and we should make the best of it for our own sake and also for our families.

trenee, did anything end up helping you? I am still having these issues, and am wondering if you've found anything to help you. My anxiety and insomnia is only relieved by massive fatigue that makes me sleep. Im convinced I will die in my sleep.

Hello jdad. I guess this means you are a man... I was going to say that when I hit menopause it happened to be when bio-identical hormones became all the rage. I had to wait 8 months for an appointment to be evaluated and put on them, the interest in it was to great. (Remember Goldie Hawn?...) For women, there's nothing like bio-identical progesterone. It's made from yams. and it is actually cancer protective according to my pharmacist and two gynaecologists. Anyway, you are a man so progesterone cream at bedtime wouldn't work.
The most obvious solution is of course eliminating caffeine...even first thing in the morning. Another issue that causes sleeplessness is an overactive thyroid. Experts say to turn down the lights in the evening, darken the computer screen and make it orange (software) and avoid anything stimulating at bedtime. And then there are side effects from medications. Have you explored these avenues?

@ashred The heart reacts to how well or poorly the lungs may be working, and the heart beat will increase if the lungs are not efficiently absorbing oxygen. This has happened to me because of excess phlegm that seemed to come from an infection. I went to the ER with a resting heart rate over 100 and they said it was bronchitis. A course of antibiotics fixed it and I was able to get rid of the phlegm from the infection and return to normal. I also have a physical problem in that I have thoracic outlet syndrome that makes one side of my chest too tight, so my left chest doesn't expand as much contributing to the problem. I have had ribs twist and pop out of position from TOS and work with a physical therapist who can resolve this. I have had chest pains when this happens or from extreme stress. That might be food for thought to see if allergies or a possible lung infection may be contributing to the issues of shortness of breath and affecting the heart.

Pulmonary CT came back perfect. There is fluid they said from bronchitis
