It may be stress that is causing these symptoms. Is there a sharp pain on occasion? If so, 9 times out of 10 that's an indicator that your muscles are tight. Do you exercise? If not, why not start? These pains are probably your body's way of telling you it needs to get in shape. What do you think, Lupingirl? You like lupins, I gather, so maybe gardening would be a great activity if you aren't engaged in it already!

Hi Stephen, omg I'm having the exact same thing! It's really good to know that someone else is getting in too and that I'm not going crazy. I'm going to get acupuncture to see if that will work today. Maybe it really is due to stress and anxiety and we just need to stop worrying about it. My chest/heart pain is constant, it sort of comes and goes throughout the day but I've been having it for about a year.

I don't even know where exactly my pain is anymore it's moving around and I have strange sensations daily, it started out with dull aches and heaviness on the left which made me think it's my heart...now it's sharp aches and it feels like vibrations in my chest and abdomen. Also I have found no advice or diagnosis on this site yet, we are all just venting and miserable.

Hi! I'm new to the forum. But I know how you feel. I am a year old female who is very active. However, I have been to the emergency room 3 times in two months. Last year I had a cardiac catheterization to look at my arteries. All clear. My ekg I was told 2 days ago is "kind of normal ". Never heard of kind of normal. But here is the thing you may want to get checked for. A bacterial infection called H Pyloria. It's a nasty bacteria that attacks the lining of your stomach and causes ulcers. My dr. Diagnosed me with it. This can cause chest pains and shortness of breath. I also suffer from acid reflux which makes matters worse. That also causes heart symptoms. I am a very anxious person but since I had a cardiologist actually tell me 2 days ago that my arteries look better than his, I feel relieved. The best thing to do possibly is to check the health of your gut. I couldn't handle the standard antibiotic treatment for H Pylori, so I'm going the natural route. Also I started my chiropractic treatments again. Your spine may be out of whack which can affect your other organs. Just a shot in the dark here. I empathize with everybody who is suffering from these feelings and not knowing an answer. So far the past two days for me have been pretty much pressure and pain free. Hope this helps.

I'm checking out Mastic Gum as it has a high success rate as far as wiping out the H Pyloria. My dr put me on the triple pack of antibiotics which made me feel worse. I actually feel better not taking the antibiotics. Now, I'm keeping a journal of triggers and what causes my chest pain and pressure. I'm beginning to wonder if it's actually hormonal. I am in the throes of perimenopause. Uggghh. Low estrogen can cause a lot of problems. Have you looked into the possibility of Costochondritis? It's an inflammation of the rib cage. That causes chest pain also. It's very good that you eat well. I'm getting rid of my bad eating habits. I know now I cannot eat chocolate and spicy food anymore. The funny thing is, I feel no pressure or pain when I am exercising( for me that's dancing). It's all trial and error at this point.

Hey how are you this is kinda crazy but about 2 and a half years ago I out of no where got anxiety. It really ruined my life it started with pain in my left shoulder. After a year it become much worse making stabbing to dull pain everyday it happen once a day for about 10 minutes. I been to dr I lost friends, family thinks I'm crazy around the second year it got much worse it started to happen more and more and drive me crazy. Once a day I would search stuff online drive myself crazy. Now after the past 6 month it's been bad. 6 months ago it started to feel right in my upper chest it's to the point I can't work before I sleep I feel like I'm going to die I get really scared and sad. Past 3 months it's been all day mostly that tight muscle in my upper left chest it's annoying. I been working out but sometimes it don't make it hurt but it makes it worse make it spaz out or feel wierd. I'm thinking maby I'm out of shape I don't know I have other symptoms my arms wrist I get hot flashes feel nauseous I just commented because our story's are so similar my only suggestion is to try to work out. Might be good to stretch the muscles I wish you the best of luck I just want to feel Normal again I also smoke marijuana I don't know if that might cause my problem ?
