Is chest pain a symptom too?!

Hi,
I'm a 22 student... Not that long ago a few months back I noticed my bowels were acting funny, I was having much more gas than before, could hear air moving around in my tummy etc... (no hickups or burping, not more than usual - since I think I read this might be a symptom too)...
I gave it absolutely no thought, since I could hold it, and not (xcuse the word) fart in public it gave me no real problems... Occasionally, if I was in a real quiet enviroment others could hear my bowels work (air move around), but as I said I could hold in the need to pass gas...
About a week or so ago I got some chest pains (not really chest pains, as by my feeling they are located in between the skin and rib cage). I first, as I remember it, got it sitting down in class, my posture whilst sitting isn't that good... Got it couple of other times, also sitting down in front of the computer (I'm a CS student, so I sit in front of the computer quite a lot...), even lying (not completely lying-more like slouching on the soffa), That kinda worried me since I had no chest pain ever before, and being only 22, I went to the dr. Told her about the chest (didn't mention the bowels, didn't seem important and related to me). So, she instructed me to have some blood work done, an ecg (or is it ekg), listened to my chest, all of the test came up with no problems found... Well, something was a bit raized (almost borderline upper normal value - in my language it's called bilirubin in the blood) and that led her to suspect that my liver was enlarged, so I did an ultrasound of an upper abdomen and a test for an adeno virus... Ultrasound came up with no morphological changes, all normal, and the adeno (or is it adino) test was negative, I had no virus... After those two tests I had experienced a couple of days without pain (not a pain as much as something like a blunt sometimes pressing sensation, sometimes felt, certainly not all the time). Kinda like I strained something. I haven't been to see my dr. yet with the new results but I don't know weather or not to mention my bowel trouble??? Do you think it's relevant? It was almost bothering for two months or more, before I got those chest pains...
Do you suggest any treatment?

Some more relevant things, I'm not so sure weather it was when I started doing intensive training or after I stopped, but certainly no before that I got bowel problems... That was last year, late november, I was working out for 2 hours a day, since the I stopped, almost completly, first I had exams, after that I got the bowels, and now chest... For the last mont no workout at all...
I'm rather thin, have about 155lbs, 6 feet tall... I also noticed I got a bit bigger in my pants, though that's probably just cause I had tossed on meaner abs back when I was still working out... I did a lot of (even traditional) ab push ups, english ain't my first language and I just can't remember the proper name of the workout now. It's on the tip of my tounge, though. It's a workout when u raise yours upper torso from the lying position....
I also recently, some 3 weeks before I got chest aches changed beds, it's much firmer than the one I used to sleep on before... I don't just sleep on it, I some time kinda lie down and read, again I know, in not a such posture perfect position...

Thank you... in advance

Re: Is chest pain a symptom too?!

Noisey bowels as well as spasms and cramping could be caused by lack of calcium and magnesium in your diet.
If you take a supplement try it 3 X daily for better absorption!!

Re: Is chest pain a symptom too?!

Hi triple_X,

I think you should mention your tummy problems to your doctor - it might help the doctor give you a better idea of what you are suffering from. The pain sounds like acid burn (gas) troubles. It depends where you feel the pain - is it around the V of your chest and does it feel like some nerves are being pulled occasionally?

The stomach rumbling sounds a bit like your food is moving around in a funny way in your intestines - nothing to worry about, if it doesn't really hurt.

The word you might have been looking for is "situp"?

Cheers, Raju.

Re: Is chest pain a symptom too?!

Thanx for the tip... I'll surely try it...
I was asking 'bout the chest pain since I read somebody else's complaint on this forum... I think the person in question said thst it had some blood work done and it found the presence of raized (if I remember it correctly) C-Reactive Protein and H-pylori. The protein, at least by their account, meant that something in the body was inflammed, doctor couldn't tell what... H-pylori was a sign, again by this person's accountm, that there was something wrong in their bowels... The proteins raized levels I mentioned had then moved into the blood flow, particularly onto the veins, thus giving it inflammation of them too... That can't be visually diagonsed can it?! But that inflammation gave that person some chest pain, with symptoms simmilar to the ones I experienced...
Here's that thread: [url]http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=66852[/url]

I don't have that severe symptoms but I get some, a few minutes lasting pain in my upper chest... This has been going on for the past few weeks and there's nothing, which I've myself noticed, that causes it, like a certain position, or a deep brathe (like in that before mentioned thread), it's all just very irregular and when it apperas it's disappearance is just as unpredictable, I might be moving, lying down, it goes away in a few minutes but I just don't realize what's wrong with me!? So could that be connected to my bowels and their strange behaviour I noticed in the past few months?

Thank you.

Re: Is chest pain a symptom too?!

Thanx Raju...
Yes, it's around the V area of my chest... As for the nerves being pulled, well I guess it could be explained that way most of the time I feel it. I'm not sure for the two times I was watching a movie (battle scenes in the LOTR: The Return Of The King) when I just felt like I was almost having a heart attack. I've seen more exciting movies, IMHO, before, never had a simmilar feeling?! I think it was a bit too shalow of a pain for it (the pain) to be sitouated exactly inside my heart. It was more of a surface pain, just beneath the skin and/or on the ribs, maybe, I'm not a doctor so I don't know how exactly the heart is fixated inside me, it was on the side of the heart that was nearer to the chest. Is it possible for the heart to hurt on just one side of it?!? I've never before had simmilar discomfort and I just can't tell what exactly pains me, is it the heart, or have I maybe hut my rib cage, or the acid and gases like you said?!

BTW, yes the word I was looking for is a situp, I'm such a dumbass...
