Chest pain > a month

Posted by brrn @brrn, Jan 14, 2019

I have been having intermittent mid chest pain for over a month. It happens daily. The pain radiates up my neck into my jaw and continues up into my temples. At times it radiates across my shoulders in the front. I have had type 1 diabetes for 47 years and it happens whenever my glucose gets high and with any minor exertion. I do not have any GI problems such as reflux.
Has anyone ever had this or does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi @davidw23, I echo @sueinmn's welcome. I wanted you to be able to connect with other members who are having chest pain so I moved your post here to see if there are some similarities in your symptoms.

Hi there,

During first dose of the vaccine I took, Pfizer, my heart rate spiked and I got blurry vision but after that initial on set I was fine. The second dose I had standard side effects like headache, etc… this was back in April, so I’m unsure if there’s a connection here.

I’ve been having chest pain for over 5 weeks now. It started on a flight from DEN-CHI back in August. My heart spiked to 171 Bpm for roughly 2-4 minutes and I felt like crap after wards initially wrote it off as adrenalin dump. But after a week of being back home in Denver I started having pains in my chest (while sedentary and exercising) and 5 more times had those similar heart rate spikes. The pains include tightness in chest, burning sensation, tension in shoulders , pain in jaw (which could be from my braces I wear, headaches, fatigue, extremely panic and anxiety, pain in both arms, the constant is there seems toalways been something off. As of today I have been to my primary care, urgent care, ER, and cardiologist. Every tests they have done so far has come back clean. I did a stress test last Friday and there was no issues with the EKG, o2 levels, or blood pressure. My normal labs ie cholesterol, blood cell count, troponin levels were all normal. My plan moving forward is to get an echo, holter, and angeogram done along with inflammation markers tested. I feel hopelesss because I have no clue what’s going on with me. I’ve made major improvements to my diet cutting out alcohol, caffeine, and I’m basically eating veggies fruits nuts and some meat. When I speak to doctors they seem to be chopping up to anxiety. Which it just doesn’t feel like. Any advice or insight would be extremely helpful.

This is not an advertisement and I don’t work at Mayo. If possible consider getting a second opinion with their cardiology team and angio done there if you are actually getting an angio as you noted.

Also, if you find you are ok and just stressed or something (not saying this and don’t know), consider managing all your cardiac risk factors anyway and you may prevent a more serious issue 20 years from now if applicable and possibly feel better. Good luck.
