Hi

Im a 21 year old man amd have been experiencing chest spasms and cramps over the past week. im a fit young man with an ideal body fat percentage amd usually feel these symptoms after i eat. I train in the gym and feel no pain during exercise. The pains can feel like knots at times and occur sporadically in my inner left chest only for a second or two and then it's gone, under the left collar bone amd near the left shoulder. I also feel tingles and tightness in my left wrist at times, shoulder joint and down my arm. I have been told by my GP that I am in great health and had an EKG over a month ago that turned out normal. Anyone have experience with these symptoms as I feel everyone I confide in about my fear of having a heart problems shrugs me off as if I'm making it up. Thanks

Hi there,
I think you should post this in the Anxiety Disorders forum. You will get a lot of support from like-minded people.
Don't think you are alone with this. Many people have anxiety about their health which is unfounded.

Hi Eoin
Ask for an angiogram that'll tell you what if anything is wrong and if they don't give it to you go private
Good luck
