Almost constant chest pain in the left breast and shoulder

[QBIK]

Go see a CHIROPRACTOR...what most of you are experiencing is a very slight dislocation of 2 or 3 Ribs on the right or left side of your spinal column...I got the pain under my right pectoral muscle...went to see a Chiropractor and he instantly diagnosed that indeed I was a side sleeper and that I had slept on my side one night with my elbow tucked under my ribs...3 quick sessions with Dr. Wilkie in Calgary (he has worked on Jack Nicklaus and most of the Women's Olympic Skeleton Bob Sled Team)...and the pain went away...what was explained to me was...there are nerves that begin at the spinal column and extend outwards along the ribs to the front of the body...if the rib is disjointed...even slightly...moderate to severe pain can be felt in the “front” of the rib cage...

If you decide to go see a Chiropractor...be sure they are trained in IRT (Injury Recovery Therapy)...It is a muscle memory resetting technique to help your injured muscles recover to a normal state around the affected area....muscles tend to remember your injuries and will tend to pull your bones back into their "previously injured" position again...

Hope this helps...been a month since my last appointment with the Chiropractor and I have been pain free and my breathing improved dramatically as a side effect...;b)

468 -- I could have written your message. I have written many on this board. I started out with what I think were chest pains also. Went to cardiologist. She put me on Atenolol (for Palps). I think it made the chest pain worse, but I continued to take the medication. She ran all tests, to include nuclear stress test, echogram, heart monitor, etc. (no heart cath). I to this day still have what I call "heart pain" on the left. It never stops. I went to gastro doctor. Had endoscope. He said I had H Pylori stomach infection. Treated with antibiotics. Still have the heart pain. Then I asked for HIDA scan on gallbladder. As it turns out gallbladder was not functioning. Had it removed about 5 days ago. I still have this "heart pain". I really hoped removing the gallbladder and maybe bile or something was causing it. Not! This morning I'm nauseated. I'm not having a good day. I'm so tired of this heart pain. I've had it for 7 months. It never seems to go away. My life has come to a standstill trying to get this controlled or stopped. I have even thought of a "heart cath" as I don't know what else to do. I'm going to call the gastro doctor and ask him about putting me back on antibiotics. Maybe the H Pylori infection hasn't cleared. I do not know if it is gastro related, bile related, or what. If you ever find something that helps yours, please let me know. A friend of mine said Zantac seemed to help her. I've tried all but Zantac. Guess I'll try it to.

but i was wondering what you're doctor said i have no idea what it could be!?
i get it really bad when im drinking or eating but on resting aswell?
