I've had an EKG, Chest Xray, holter monitor done, tomorrow getting an MRI... despite having headaches brutally for 5 years, more like chronic... you all may remember me from November, although not many people respond to my posts oddly enough... guess I just got to post more.
Anyway, my old symptoms have returned, chest pains when I breathe, mainly on my left side, some light sweats at times, shortness of breath, but palpitations are no longer the issue even though I had them in the past, the doctor said the holter monitor said I wasn't even having palpitations even though it felt like I was :eek:
Let's see... I quit smoking and drinking again for good this time... I'ma be around here more often because I've been way more depressed lately due to a stomach virus I had that was making me heave like crazy and crap water, then last night I had WILD burning and aching arms out of nowhere due to dehydration I think... any input would be appreciated, thanks.

yah, i kno whow you feel. i've had all those tests too and then some, i still get palps, chest pains, and feel like i cant breathe. every day. all day. lately its been the breathing thing, and, oddly enough, the palps arent there.. ?? i had the holter done too, and i wasnt having palps a couple times when i thought i was. but it did catch a few. doc said nothing to worry about.. anyway, i get pains in my chest and down my left arm, and it lasts all day for days.. just wanted to say your not alone.

Me too pains in my chest are scary but belive it or not mine was all stress related. I think you need to try and learn new relaxation excercise's and ways of dealing with your stress better. I also have been from doctor to doctor and I have come to realize that nothing is wrong with me. Its almost like I want something to be so I can feel better about what is happening to me. I have learned how to destress myself and all of my pains have gone away. Im sorry that no one posted for you before. We are here for you!! ITs like our own little support group. Stay strong and I hope you are feeling better.

Thanks you two, I've been getting some chest pains lightly when I have a stressful situation in front of me like organizing my cabinet filled with junk or trying to find a container with an unorganized area... so it's like nerve aches you get too eh, {REMOVED}, PLUS My paranoia makes me think the things I eat like mashed potatoes, butter, pizza and such is making my arteries clog and slowly make more aches... even after 5 months of having no heart issues or such, I still am that paranoid, sad I know. :o

me too I have been having left arm/shoulder/chest pains off and on since october of 05.I have had the same testing as you all normal except several PVC's on the holter monitor which the doc said they are of no real concern.
Most of my pains are in the left arm but I do get chest ones here and there.I have noticed they just come out of nowhere and also noticed when I smoke sometimes it starts so of course this type of thing scares me.I also get left sided facial numbness off and on and now I am having a black patches in my right eye off and on UGH it never ends.Anyway,nothing has been found wrong with me never is lol ......hang in there and let us know about the MRI but im sure all your troubles could be anxiety/stress related.

It probably is, but answer me this, since I've been drinking for a year <not hugely heavily just enough> wine and beer mainly, as of the past... 3 months I've felt my brain more clouded, I make more mistakes in my speech and even have trouble remembering crap I read. Any idea about that, anyone? :confused:

In your initial post, didn't you say you quit drinking?

Yeah I am, for the past day lol, it's tough. But also anyone ever get a left side chest pain and a headache at the same time when you did something physical or have some anxiety? Just curious. :cool:

yes.i get some bad chest pains that go up to my head. so, my head and chest will hurt, plus my jaw.. these pains spread, then go away. etc. who knows. i also feel like i'm gonna pass out all the freakin time and i'm sick of it. i know what you are dealing with , the drinking and everything, i find that i need a few glasses of wine, couple nights a week, and the sad thing is, that, YES, i do drink it to cover the anxiety and stupid physical symptoms for a few hours.. not healthy, not smart, but, its true.. i know what you are going through. i have soooo many aches and pains, and weird feelings, etc. i dont even know where to begin and where to end. .

Wow sorry to hear that paranoid girl, sounds just like what I'm going through but tell me... Do you get any chronic headaches? I've been getting them for 5 years when I have
anxiety or physical work.
