Hi,

I am 28 years old male who has a proffesional sport background. I have played 13 years water polo in the past, I unfotunatelly had to quit 7 years ago.
I have a some kind of pain (I am not sure if I should call this pain) it's like a signal, I feel something is moving, giving me unconfortable feeling on my left upper chest area. I aware that's not a muscle pain, it's like preasure. I went to doctor he send me to do X ray, result was fine. I did not do the blood test yet, I will do it when I have time. Sometimes pain goes lower my nipples, I am thinking would that be a heart related thing ? perhaps desiase ?

I smoke veed sometimes, last week I decided to quit because I felt faint, shaky. I felt the pain , preasure even more.

I just want to know? if anybody have same kind of feelings?


Thank You,

Oscar



Hi Oscar,

All that stretching and hard swimming could have torn an important internal ligament... If it is not completely torn, it can slowly heal, but never as good as it once was. Look up Phrenoesophageal Ligament (which helps to apply pressure to the lower esophageal sphincter where it passes through the diaphragm.)

Do you also have Acid Reflux? A hiatal hernia often accompanies a weak Lower Esophageal Sphincter. Hopefully, you can recover from this if you
stop doing the activity that tears the ligament. If not, you might be looking at a surgery to try to repair the damage. It is not as good as the original equipment once was.
