I have been suffering and complaining about chest pains for over a year. I had convinced my self it was my heart and have been to see my doctor countless times about it. This time I went my doctor asked me if I suffer heart burn and indigestion, I thought it was a daft question to ask, but I answered yes. She then got me to lay on the table and she felt my stomach and she said that I have hietus hernia from when I was pregnant with the twins. She then went on to explain that the stamach can cause chest pains on the left side (around the heart region) and alot of people, mostly men, have this complaint and some have even ended up in the Cardiac Unit only to find out that it's Acid indigestion! So yes this is what has been causeing my chest problems (touch wood) cause she has put me on tablets for my stomach and since then I haven't had chest pains! yay.
I just thought I would post this incase others have the same problem and maybe want to rule out acid indigestion! I do understand that chest pain is linked with anxiety but there could be more like me out there.
Take Carexx
