Hi, I am an overweight (220 pound) 34 y.o BW with chest pain. happens several times a day since I started using my elliptical 2 weeks ago (since stopped). There are 2 kinds of pain: pain when I breathe and pain that starts with a "pop" or spasm underneath left breast in middle of chest then pain radiates down left arm to my fingers, throbs for awhile and then with aspirin goes away until I move suddenly or breathe deeply. I have had this problem several times in the past 10 years and have gone to the ER each time only to be told I don't have a heart condition; but I do have consto-chondritis (which doesn't explain the pop and radiating pain, but only the pain in the middle of my chest). Could I still have heart disease that they aren't seeing and if so is there anything I can do to stop it? what tests should Dx be running? I am eating right and was exercising, but I have to stop using the elliptical because of what just happened. |
