For around 2 months now, I have experienced left side chest pain and sometimes left arm pain (either in my shoulder or my forearm). Since one month ago, I also have had some pain in my upper back (bellow and between my shoulder blades).The pain in my chest is kinda sharp and I can localize it. Also, it doesn%26#039;t get worse when i breathr. I also feel kind of dizzy or weakened sometimes. Still I have had 2 EKG-s (both normal), I went to a cardiologist (he checked me out and said my heart isn%26#039;t the problem) and I have had my blood checked (normal as well). My heart rate at rest is around 56 bpm (sometimes lower, sometimes higher) but goes up normally after physical activities. I am 23 of age, I DON%26quot;T SMOKE and I am a fairly active person. My doc also said it could be something to do with my spine (due to wrong postures) but I don%26#039;t know what I should do next. Any ideas?
Chest and back pain???
I feel it may be due to gastric problem. Avoiding some food will help. Consult a gastrologist. Did you ever suffer from jaundice?
Chest and back pain???
i use to have the same problem unitl they put me on anxiety medicine i guess it was due to stress
Chest and back pain???
Anxiety attacks could cause it. You will feel like you are having a heart attack, get dizzy, vision blurry, maybe even pass out and vomit. If your EKGs are normal I%26#039;d discuss anxiety with your DR. Even if you don%26#039;t feel stressed, you could have a disorder. If you think it%26#039;s your spine, see a chiropractor. It hurts, but will help correct your posture and prevent further damage to your spine and neck.
Chest and back pain???
I have to agree with the first 2 posters. My daughter had this. And she has had all the tests. She is about your age also. Doctors told her it is anxiety.
Chest and back pain???
well you should have tests of different harmones particularly thyroid.
might be you have some problem related to belly perhaps acidity or gastric problem , gastric problem too has same symptoms feeling pain or pressure on left side chest , pain in arms, shortening of breath, weakness , dizziness,pain in right side back portion.
you should also have urine test to get to know the proper funtioning of your kidney.
spinal cord problem... don%26#039;t put stress on it, don%26#039;t take tension otherwise you will have weakness near your spinal cord, arms and legs,
try to take minerals or vitamins and drink lots of water at the advice of your doc.
try to have good and simple life.
try to keep yourself away from tension.
try to take walk in the morning and do yoga early in the morning and go to the garden very early in the morning and try to pull and poush your breath this exercise will make your brain fresh , your lugs strong and make you feel good.
try o analyze your diet schedule.
some pains are psychological.
praying for your good health.
bye
Chest and back pain???
Do you sit at a computer all day, or do repetitive work that involves your arms and upper body? Could be related to that ... good that you are checking with a doc.
Chest and back pain???
Have they ruled out your thorasic nerve. My husband had symptoms similar to this (he had heart problems, marfans) and he had such painful spasms that he went to the hospital because they thought it was a heart attack. He had a procedure done that deadened the thorasic nerve (its the nerve that crosses the heart) and has not had the bad back pain since. He still has chest pain. I would not rule out heart problems. Have you had an Ultra sound on your heart? Also, have you had some tests dont to rule out blockage? I dont think it could be anxiety. Do you have scoliosis? That could also be causing problems.

Hi
What you have is nothing to be concerned about, it is actually very common and it isnot anxiety.Although you may feel anxious with the pain you are experiencing.
The two most like scenarios are this:
It is a few ribs that are tighter along with the spine in the area. Most likely your upper thoracic area like you said between your shoulder blades. This area supports the movement of your arm and shoulder, so when it tightens it can cuase arm and shoulder pain. As you can breathe without it becoming worse, then they are tight enough to cause pain but not serious.
The other possible cause is your diaphragm. It also causes arm pain and shoulder pain. It has the same pain pattern as your heart, which is why so many people get checked because they believe they are having a heart attack.
Both of these can occur due to exercise, especially the diaphragm as they are used when you are exercising.
It is unlikely anxiety as your heart rate is still good, the ekg%26#039;s would also indicate anxiety related symptoms also. So if your docotr didn%26#039;t mention it then it is unlikely.
As to what to do, you can do stretches for these areas which there is a good stretch at http://www.back-pain-advisor.com/back-st... , for the diaphragm you would need to use some breathing exercises to help ease tension off it.The site I mentioned above has a newsletter ande-course which is good for both of these and should help quickly,you can see them at http://www.back-pain-advisor.com/back-pa... you also get a free e-book with it.
Contact them for advice as they can help a lot, all free too. It is a good helpful site and they get back to you quickly.

If you have been %26quot;ruled out%26quot; as your symptoms being heart related and your Doc said that %26quot; it could be something with your spine%26quot; well, that is not a definitive answer. Tell your Doc ( or seek a second opinion, preferably a Neurologist) to discuss options. Physical Therapy can be quite helpful in strengthening muscles that support your spine. Spinal/back problems should not be ignored. I hope this helps.
Chest and back pain???
you need to go to each specialist and the reason being is they are only trained for what they do. like arteries etc arterial doctor etc. it even could be something small like strained something. but its good to check with them all and get it done fast.
Chest and back pain???
I%26#039;m not a doctor but 56 beats a min. is high if that%26#039;s ur normal heart beat. %26amp; the pain in ur back might be something else or they may go together get a second opinion doctors sometimes over look things so maybe another can tell u some thing different
