I’ve been having sharp chest pain on my left side for about 1 month now. I went to the doctor and got diagnosed with costo however the sharp pain and discomforts will still make me anxious lol! I might have an electrocardiogram done fairly soon just to rule out any heart issues. 😅 I’ve been taking low dose chewable aspirin to help with the tightness and sudden sharp pains (I am no doctor though just sharing my experience !!) Praying for everyone’s health 🫶 & Thank you Dr for this video😊

[@astroboy1207]

[@LegitimateW]

[@Hlnqrz]

@@LegitimateW Haven’t had any pain since, still followed up my next check up at the doctors, did blood tests and another electrocardiogram was told that I was healthy. I believe I was going through some very severe anxiety (to the point I felt physical discomfort). I’ve been doing much better now though!

I have high BP , went for check in 2021 went I have feel some pain close to my heart and was told I have left ventricular hypertrophy. I have been taking my drugs regularly since then but in 2022 after arriving Canada from Nigeria I started feeling some tightness in my chest that I have to stretch to get a pop most times. I complained to my doctors but he said it nothing . So I did some series of tests plus ECG. The test results were okay and the ECG showed LVH with caused an enlarged heart., but he said it’s minimal that I should ensure I take my BP drugs regular. I am 42 years and I presently work in a warehouse and the chest pain has increased seriously with a pain on my back as well just like you explained in this video. I am just scared about what to do now though I have booked an appointment with my doctor but I fear he may still tell me same thing. Any advice will be appreciated. I have been to massage and even physiotherapy.i may have to try chiropractors

I has a fall this past summer in my kitchen and my arm was bent underneath me when I fell. It was like I punched myself in the chest. My ribs were sore initially but a few months later I got excruciating pain in my sternum and across my pectoral muscles. Went to the doctor and had an EKG. Doctor said it was most likely from my fall to rest. It gets better and I will hardly notice it and then it will flare up again. What should we avoid doing so we don't continue to aggravate it?

[@user-hg9xr7ek1h]

A 29-year-old female. She started having chest tightness occasionally last year. This year, she suddenly became short of breath and her heartbeat accelerated. It has happened twice now. In daily life, she occasionally has chest tightness for a while. Her chest hurts when she presses her chest or raises her head and backwards. Go to the hospital. An X-ray scan couldn’t find the cause. The doctor said it was suspected to be psychiatric, but the pain didn’t improve after I took psychotropic drugs. What kind of disease is this? Please help me if you have a similar situation or a doctor.

The band feeling is a symptom of slipping rib syndrome. SRS has lots of symptoms and is often misdiagnosed as costochondritis. I have srs diagnosed by a specialist and I have the exact symptoms of Costo.

[@AASA76]

@@Synergywellnessny Can you PLEASE PLEASE help?! i’m desperate… my son had his first panic attack four years ago…at age of 15 and before that he has never had complaints with his chest. After his panic attack, I immediately scheduled him to start seeing a therapist I took him to therapy and he did CBT, ALL of his symptoms disappeared, except for the chest thing. the symptoms are feeling of very sensitive touch to the area of his chest area and little by his abdomen. I don’t know if this is associated with anything, but when he was about 10 years old, he fell onto his bicycle handlebars which slammed into his chest. It took the wind out of him, and he told me at the time he couldn’t breathe I didn’t take it seriously being ignorant, and not understanding, he claims that after that incident he was fine but somethings bothered him like seatbelts. I’m thinking after he had his anxiety attack. It kind of brought out that chest feeling again? We went to all kinds of doctors now my son is convinced he has MS he’s thinking it’s the MS hug he has had an MRI in 2019 due to migraine headaches and his anxiety he had an EKG. He had chest x-ray all of it because of the anxiety. They are all clean so the neurologist went off of the MRI from 2019 and told my son he doesn’t have MS, and told him He has small fiber neuropathy???? and told us to take B complex? My son doesn’t think it’s small fiber neuropathy because it’s not getting better and it’s really distracting his life. He is a great boy that is in college trying to be a doctor, he is 18 now and He has big dreams. This is actually really not allowing him to live his full, happy potential and I as a mother I’m heartbroken and paralyzed. I cannot do anything thinking about MS, can you please give me some kind of comfort or relief or some kind of help I would really appreciate it

Hello Dr David Kulla, I believe I have some issues with my ribs, but my doctors say that it's costochrondritis. I had a bad fall on the left side of my rib cage and was very winded after I made contact. I've been dealing with this for 2 years. If I stand in a somewhat slouched position and try to touch my chest with my chin, I experience a sharp pain in the centre of my chest. Also, if turn/twist to the left side (where I fell) it feels significantly tight, and in normal life if I sit up after sleeping, I feel a tear like pain where my sternum is, I also click it every morning. Asides from the information above, I feel very sore and tender under my arm pit if I was to touch it / or put force, the same goes for the centre of my chest. Every now and then I feel a sharp pain from the left and right pectorals and sometimes some pain and aching in my back in-between the shoulder blades. What do you say as an expert in this field? Thanks a lot, Tommy

what are your symptoms exactly? Because you saying you have like a band pushing on your chest is what my son tells me, his shirt even bothers him. It has to be very soft and he cannot zip up his jacket. It annoys his chest even his bed covers bother him. It’s really sad. Have you suffered with anxiety before my son has had anxiety but it’s really good now. He has no anxiety but this chest issue still there after all his therapy everything was great but now the chest issue is still there not going away.

[@positivityloveandkindnessa]

I’ve been to the ER so many times!! I’ve had ECG, Blood tests, Blood Pressure and . The Past 3 times now My ECG has said Probable Left Atrial Enlargement but they said My ECG looks perfectly fine. My Blood tests came back all normal apart from One saying My Electrolytes are slightly raised. Everything else is perfectly fine. But. I get upper back pain, Shoulder pain, clavicle pain, sternum pain, under armpit pain (a little lower).. It starts when I’m just sitting down, lying down or doing nothing or it starts when I move too. I get sharp stabbing pains in My sternum.. Very very bad pain. I get very bad pains in my chest like it’s closing, tightening, crushing or like someone is sitting on it.. But then it also feels it in My neck too. I feel tired a lot. I’m absolutely petrified. Sometimes the pain is not pain it’s just uncomfortable or aches.. or sometimes it’s just very very very very very bad! It doesn’t hurt when I breath. But I feel shortness of breath. I am absolutely petrified thinking that it can be My heart now because the tests were last Month.. or last Week and I’ll be like no.. it can be My heart now then.. because it’s new and the pain gets worse and I’m like this is definitely worse than last time so it’s definitely My heart. I’m petrified I can’t live life the same anymore 😭😭

[@damongoldsmith3847]

How are you feeling now? Had any other tests at all? I had an ECG that showed the same Probable Left Atrial Enlargement but have been told it's common for the machines to give false automated readings, and if a doctor looked at it and said it was fine - it's probably just the machine being over cautious. Quite common from them to place the top two electrodes too high up and it'll give this reading incorrectly.

[@positivityloveandkindnessa]

@@damongoldsmith3847 Thank You!! I hope You’re ok! My chest pain is apparently costochondritis But I now have this weird feeling for the past 4 days like I’m on a boat or like I’m floating and swaying even when I sit down or lie down. It’s horrible. It won’t go away😫. How are You? 😊

[@judithdolan-wood3642]

They say I've had it on & off for 6yrs.cant even wear a bra anymore or anything tight on me

[@AASA76]

my son too!! his shirts have to be very soft and light. He cannot even wear different textured shirts that are rough because it aggravates his chest. He also cannot zip up his jackets and the bed covers bother him. It hurts my heart to see him suffer He can go outside in the dead of winter and leaves the jacket open on his chest because he can’t close the zipper because it will bother his chest. He has had this ever since he had his first anxiety attack which was five years ago, he received therapy and all of the symptoms went away except for this chest sensitivity/issue. It’s not going away. It might go away for a month but then come back he is convinced it’s the MS hog, which frightens me to death. We have an appointment with the neurologist. This is our second appointment with the neurologist. The first time the neurologist told us it is not MS due to him, looking at the MRI but my son keeps telling me there’s no other symptoms that match the symptom to be the cause except for MS I hope he’s wrong.

What is the symptoms you have my son feels very sensitive in chest it’s like hard to describe, but he says it’s kind of painful and very sensitive and sore all the time it will go and come some months.

He hast to wear very soft shirts and he can’t zip up his coat. It’s really sad.
