Is chest pain accompanied with ALL heart diseases?

I have been having pain on the left side of my chest for a while now. It comes and goes and its more bothersome than anything else. It is usually around my armpit area (usually underneath) and sometimes creeps around to the back or front of my chest momentarily. The pain doesn't last long. It also sometimes affects my shoulder and neck. The time I notice it is when I am at work, serving tables. Doctors tell me that its the strain on my body/muscles from constantly working (I work 7 days a week, between two jobs) and that lifting the trays is what is causing the pain. I had an EKG and chest x-ray done not too long ago...both came back fine. Any ideas or suggestions? Does anybody think it could be heart related? I am a 24-year-old male, in good health (I hope).

I was married to a pharmacist and my brother-n-law was a doctor.It sounds like a muscular problem from constant use of your arms,but ekg dont always show a problem.They usually show if you have had a heart attack or damage.I would suggest that you see a cardilogist and let him decide since general practioners arent great with this sort of thing after all they dont specalize in the heart ,cardilogist do.When you find out post it on answers,I care about people and I have three sons and this is what I would tell them to do-Take care

yes, it could be heart related. You are probably experienceing angina pectoris (though i dont know which type). Your docotr is right of course. Too much straining (at work) increases the oxygen demand of your heart, and because your body cannot compensate for the increase in demand, chest pain occurs. In your case the pain radiates to your back and armpits...a classic sign of angina

If the X-Rays and EKG came out fine then its not your heart. It could be a problem with your muscles. Sometimes if you lift something you might strain your muscles. Or it could be pinched nerves. Or you might have gas. Sometimes gas can cause pain and you might think its your muscles.

stress can do alot of the things your saying now,as well a gull blatter too..more ofened by that when its it,by the way we think.as well think a doctor says not the right word heart,when we are sure thats the problem.but it is fact thats works onto the ares too,as well mussel strain too.

It sounds like muscle spasms related to stress, to me.
I have had similar pain in the areas you describe. After a test or two, I was told it was muscle spasms. But go see your doctor if it doesn't go away.

GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!! it is not good whatever is causing it. better safe than sorry. it could be heart related. you dont want to take the chance.

Chances are it is muscular - Try Ibuprofen and if you are still worried get a second opinion.

u can just have heart burn i have chest pains alot too but my doctor said its nothing & the answer to ur question is no

no

it may be, or did u ever get kick by a horse?

The answer to your question is NO.

People can feel perfectly normal their entire lives, develop heart disease, have a major attack and die and not even know it was coming.

Your own specific problems may or may not even be related to your heart.

Pain is often REFERRED from other areas.

Any Doctore will tell you that PAIN is not fully understood.

If they do think it is caused by something specific and you keep doing that, and you keep experiencing pain then they are likely correct.

Find yourself a really competant Massage Therapist. Let them work on your muscles and see if it makes a difference.
