CHEST PAIN: When to Worry? (Doctors Update) 2024

ATTN: If you are having chest pain right now, turn off this video and call 911/112/EMS!
Medical doctors used to think heart attacks only happened in old white men. Thankfully, those days are gone. Given the terrible, inflammatory diet most of us eat these days, anyone could be at risk. Some types of chest pain can be safely ignored, or treated at home. Other types of chest pain must be dealt with by medical personnel immediately.
The nerves in your chest behave differently than the nerves in your finger. Often the pain in your chest can be subtle and confusing. Don't ignore an important type of chest pain because this video will help you know which is which. Chest pain can often be a sign of serious illness.
Don't take any chest pain for granted, if in doubt go see your doctor. You can prevent a heart attack by eating the proper diet. You can recover from a heart attack quicker by reporting immediately to a medical professional with worrisome chest pain.

The doctors always sent him home saying it was a panic attack. When he was 19 he had a severe heart attack in front of the ER doctor that had just told me the panic attack story. Please nobody dismiss a persons chest pain because of a persons age.

Thank you for this video, very helpful. My late husband had his first heart attack at age 36. Being so young, he resisted going to the doctor or the ER, saying, "No, I can walk this off!" He was tough like that. Eventually he did end up in the ER, though, and sure enough, yes it was a heart attack. He had several more over the years, and fortunately he was not so stubborn about going to the hospital after that first one. I'm pleased to say that he outlived his prognosis, and made it all the way to age 61.

A simple EKG and within that SAME week I was in a operating room having a stent put in. I had a 80% blockage in my heart. Some things you need to aggressive quick. The heart is one of them.

Thank you so much for this video. I went to the doctor in my 20s with piercing "from here to there" chest pains about a hand-width below my left collarbone, convinced I was having heart attack. Fortunately, the doctor knew better and was able to convince me (after testing) that particular pain was not heart-related. I continued to have these pains well into my early 50's and after menopause they went away -- hmmm, interesting -- no-one could say why. I'm glad not to experience these anymore, and also glad it wasn't a heart attack and that I had a doctor who gave me the appropriate tests and then showed me it wasn't all that. One ECG prevented any number of A&E visits and a good solid explanation of the various types of chest pains went a long way to helping me not have lots of anxiety about these pains. Good video, well-explained. Thanks again, Dr. Ken!

Thank you Dr Berry! I'm a 57yo female who's anxiety disorder was untreated for years because of a false diagnosed Mitral and Tricuspid valve prolapse from before the angles on ultrasound were precise enough to get it right. Add neuropathy from botched bilateral prophylactic mastectomies, reflux, asthma and morbid obesity to it, and a simple chest pain can be very confusing and terrifying. And the anxiety of having chest pain and not knowing what is causing it just ramps the pain up even more. Sometimes I think the anxiety could get so bad that it could cause a heart attack.

Panic attacks can mimic heart attacks very well! I’ve been to emergency 3 times thinking I was having a heart attack. Started with skipped heart beats, then heart racing with shortness of breath, light jaw pain, dizziness, vision got dark like black smoke, trembling, cold sweats …. Thought I was dying. Got to the ER, the episode was decreasing, got all exams, labs, x-rays… no heart attack in the lightest, blood levels good, ECG normal..was released and traveled on vacation that same day as planned, just to have another episode after arriving from vacation. This one was longer and shortness of breath was worse and scarier. It started in the middle of my sleep. ER again, all good results all over again. Started therapy and informing myself about my condition. Now I’ve learned some techniques and now I can break an episode almost on the spot, but it is still scary and sometimes I still think it’s my heart.

I hope he'll check out my cardiac health. My orthopedist gave up coz he can't find what's wrong with me knowing my MRI and EMG are normal. I started to remember subtle signs like shortness of breath, chest tightness while making the bed...and a few other things I grew out of. I don't want to think I'm overreacting, so I forgot about those little symptoms... I appreciate your video and the way you explained to us, even though it is still scary! Thank you Dr. Berry 😄👍

Hello friend,what was the outcome?

[@naydernn4725]

Thank you this made me feel a little better. I'm only 21 and have some pain in the chest but I noticed it feels better when I'm running, so you're indication that that's a good thing put me at ease

[@allenthomas5046]

Thanks for this, Dr. Berry.

[@teresechris]

Three years ago I had tightness in my jaw and neck and it was a heart attack. Since then I quit smoking and eat keto and I'm doing great, much healthier than the past 10-15 years. Your videos are great information! 😊

thanks for your time mate

[@Tinkerbell-zs3cr]

Thank you so much for this information. I have been to the Emergency Room twice and also kept in hospital. I had heavy chest pains, pain in upper shoulders, sweating and feet swelling, every time I was told. I thing wrong. All tests to check my Lungs, Heart, blood clots, gall bladder and many more. Even the one where they shout die into your body. I still have it and it’s really hard to live with. 3 weeks ago my new Dr told me I am pre-diabetic so watch out. I go back on May 22nd 2020. But after watching this, I truly hope it’s from diabetes symptoms and I can get help from my Dr how to live with it

Great information, I've worked 8yrs in the ER and 19yrs in Cardiology so I deal with this on a daily bases. Looking forward to more helpful health tips.

[@ferdinandblose5922]

I've been to GP and heart specialist. Have done ECG, ran on treadmill and both Doctors saw nothing wrong with my heart. Concerning is the chest pain and heaviness keeps coming back.

[@tangerinekpopper1868]

Are you still having chest pains?

[@roadrunnercrazy]

It can take a while to get angina diagnosed. My initial ECGs and treadmill tests didn't show much of anything. The MIBI test showed the problem though. If the pain continues, keep telling your doctor about it until you get an adequate explanation.

[@enpsyclopedia5040]

Best info on this topic available on the internet!!! I have a lot of panic attacks and am aware of them, but I still fear heart attacks during my pa's. The info on the internet about telling the difference is pretty unclear and rubbish. This video helped me alot. Thanks man!

[@annietoday2037]

Excellent tips, thank you!

[@karenbrown9058]

VERY INFORMATIVE, as all your videos are. THANK YOU! At 62 I had a squeezing chest pain w severe pressure that left me gasping for breath. IF this ever happens again I told my husband 911 will be called. Started keto May 2018, 36 lb loss to date, 20 lbs more to loose. Heart disease runs in my family but keto woe will help me live longer, I believe.

[@jaimetheone9150]

I started Keto this week and I'm filling a small pressure on the heart today, as if it were struggling pumping the blood. I'm been going to the gym the whole year and lost 33 pounds months ago. I just ran around my house full speed (way faster that I've been able in previous years), I stopped when I wanted and I got the normal elevated pulse and a little short of breath that fade away in a couple of minutes but no heart pains. I think I'll go to the ER just to make sure.

[@perusingposts2557]

Thank you Dr. Berry. This was very helpful.

How you made me laugh! You understand women so well. So many of us think we're going to bother you especially we introverts. It's nothing. Let's see if it goes away. Thanks again for your time and caring. You are one in a million, Dr Berry.

Women? They generally go to hospital and doctors in droves. Go see any hospital. If there isnt at least 10 women wanting to be medicated. It isnt a hospital 😂

I’m glad you don’t turn people away. I’m dealing with chest pain. My copay for the ER is over $700, and I refuse to pay and get treated like I’m a hypochondriac.

[@danielevans5864]

Being a former athlete I have multiple torso and upper limb pains, some attributed to disc problems, degenaration of soft tissues, and scar tissue. However, there is a family history of stroke on paternal side and my Homocysteine levels were first measured at 36, then brought down by vitamins B 6/9/12 to a level around 15. It definitely is a hard decision to make for former athletes who played contact sports. I have had 40+ episodes of syncope secondary to violent cough (when I had pertussis especially) and level 10 cramping pain in my bowels. I'm guessing I've had at least 8 concussions in my life between sports and syncope falls. I have multiple other diagnoses including moderate hypertension and stage 3 CKD. I have been on CPAP machine for 2 years and still have SOB upon awakening. My apnea likely goes back 15 years and I'm not sure how much damage that did. I also have had a 15 year or so period of being in daily fight or flight mode and sleeping only about 5 hours each night until CPAP started. Should I be alive? Haha

[@manishbhavsar2875]

Very well explained doc. Thanks for educating us. Cheers

[@bernardwilson]

What an excellent video. I have had a number of heart attacks and ended up having heart surgery, All my attacks have been "silent" with no chest pain at all but pronounced pain at the base of my spine, in my left arm and a sever ache in my jaw on the left side. I am a newly diagnosed diabetic and have developed fibromyalgia which presents itself as constant pain in my left arm and lower back as well as other places. This feels almost identical to my past heart attacks. I have been to the ER a couple of times which gladly have turned out to be false alarms after blood tests. I feel bad going to see them at the hospital but they have always been great with me. Don't be brave if you are at all worried, go get checked out to be safe.

[@marym.stevenson2612]

Thank you! I always wondered these things but was afraid to ask my Dr.!!!

As a nurse I have also seen tooth aches, jaw pain, and neck pain turn out to be heart issues. The nose to navel saying is great advice! 🙌😊

When I had my heart attack, I had it all weekend with chest pain. Then it got worse. I'm lucky to be here because I had a heart attack with 100 percent blockage in my right artery with a clot. The doctor said that I was lucky to be alive and he didn't know how I was still alive.

Great video Dr. Berry! For years i suffered with bad reflux; which on 2 different occasions led me to the ER thinking I was having a cardiac event. I discovered keto a little over a year ago and I haven't had any of those frightening episodes since. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

[@MrHunterd81]

Same here. Ever since I started keto, my acid reflux has finally disappeared.

I just had a few episodes like that and finally found out I have a hernia and possibly more like (I think) a prolapsed small intestines.

Why do I have to get chest pain right in the middle of a global pandemic? Knowing that there's a chance of picking up Coronavirus by doing the right thing and going to the hospital?

[@makylagomez7144]

did you end up going?

[@RobCLynch]

@@makylagomez7144 Thanks for asking. I had a paramedic come to the house and perform an ecg which tested clear. Big relief. Still got the chest pain and it seems that I'm having some good days then the odd bad day. So I haven't been to the hospital, but I'm still here - and hopefully will remain for my boy.

[@JisooTurtleRabbitt]

Yes same! It’s been this way all night and it hasn’t gone away Im just hoping I have pulled some muscles or something because yeah I feel you, it’s also hard to breathe aye! Ahh

[@makylagomez7144]

Robert C Lynch me too! i started having this sharp chest pain, so i went to a small urgent care er. they took ekgs and x-rays. when i got there my heart rate went up to 176 so they were focused on that more. did everything including blood work and said everything was normal. i kept having the pain for two more days and got worried it might be a blood clot so i went to the er. turns out i have early pneumonia! i got the tachycardia again so now i’m still worried because i feel like something is wrong with my heart! best of luck to you! let me know if anything changes and i will be praying! i know how scary it is!

I ignored chest pain for a year or so, then wham, at 36, had a heart attack. It will be 2 years on June 4th. I thankfully woke up to the classic symptoms. Healthy Keto has completely taken my chest pain away (still had angina after my heart attack). Thank you so much for the knowledge you share and help you provide!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and especially the first three types of pains. I went twice to ER with chest pain and it turned out to be nothing, possibly arythmia due to dehydration. I felt terrible and embarrassed. My wife thought I have stress anxiety.

[@eca2641]

Wonderful information. So much better than trying to Google machine your symptoms. 😆 I typically have sharp, sometimes dull pains in shoulders, chest on one side or the other and even my arm...90% of the time it's digestion related, gas related. I'd learned about referred pain at 30-something after a hysterectomy where they "inflated" me with air to get to where they needed. That air stayed with me for a good month and was the majority of my pain...to the point of sobbing. Often the pain was in my shoulders which I'd thought was odd but, the Dr explained that it was referred pain from the trapped air that hadn't absolved yet. Was prescribed massive opiates, which I do not condone for much but it was literally the only relief. The only pain I worry about now is the occasional dull, almost burning pain I can get in my right arm, usually several inches below my underarm. Anyone know what that's from? Stays for quite the while, might go away for a few but comes back doing so back n forth for a couple hours each "event". 🤔 Usually, if not solely, my right arm. -My father-in-law died a few days after a heart attack he never knew he'd had because he was so riddled with so much pain anyway, definitely slowly dying from certain ailments that had caught up to him through lifestyle. His heart was literally trying to heal itself... but failed. Definitely go in every single time you're not sure. Pretty please. Don't give a fuck about what you look like or staff might think. They chose that job. And ALWAYS ask as many questions as you've got. Don't settle for bandades. You deserve to understand what your body is doing and they're paid to know, paid to explain and in a way you can understand. They're all we have and since they HATE when we Google anything, ask away until you're satisfied.

[@xo3703]

[@DannyB-cs9vx]

My symptom at my heart attack at 50 was a burning sensation in my lungs. I thought I had inhaled something nasty at work. That got me 3 stents for my heart. At 62 exerting my upper body muscles caused me to sometimes go to my knees to regain my energy. After running a treadmill stress test my doctors said I was fine. My problem seemed to be with using my upper body, not legs. After insisting, I got a Cardiologist to send me in for an angioplasty. On the operating table they gave up and transferred me to a different hospital for a triple bypass. That was at age 62. If you feel badly, don't be convinced when your Doctor says that you are fine. Keep plugging away until you find out what is really wrong. Be your own health care advocate. I am almost 65 now and about 9 months ago I went Keto and lost 20+ pounds. I feel great and even well enough to use a treadmill at the gym. I believe my heart is getting stronger as with the same machine settings my heart rate is dropping. Without a doubt my largest improvement in my health was when I went on the Keto diet.
