Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with fluttering heart beats and pain in my scapula/ribs on the left side of my body; the pain originates just at the point of my scapula and the ribs in the area. Sometimes it radiates down my back or under my breast. I have had this back pain before as I work in a physically demanding job, and was worried about the pain in regards to the fact that sometimes it went onto my chest. Went to my GP and was told it was muscle pain and I was giving msucle relaxers and Physical therapy for my shoulder.
Part of me wants to give this explanation, this week I really did put a lot of stress on my back, but the fluttering heart beats at the same time really made me think - HEART ATTACK!
Well I have had the pain throughout the day and only short periods of these "skipping beats." Right now the pain is moderate, but it's a very different sort of pain -- like it's deep or visceral. Kind of acheing and dull. It almost feels like theres something in the lobe of my lung. If I press on my ribs they hurt near the area too. At the moment I am relaxed and have no experienced any heart symptoms. Just trying to convince myself that this is not heart related. Should I made an appointment with the GP? Last night just terrifed me, the beats felt out of control.
