Bad Chest Pain

[Eggy]

I have had lingering chest pain recently but for the last 30-60 mins it has been quite bad, I'm trying to reassure myself that if it was due to a heart attack or something then something would have happened by now!

Where is the pain eggy and what does it feel like?

[Eggy]

In the centre area sort of feels achy and crampy.

[nomorepanic]

It could be muscular or something like costochondritis

[Eggy]

It wouldn't be heart related i presume because i've had it bad since about 9.45pm.

Well all I can say that is heart attack pain is like a bad cramping, elephant sitting on chest type of thing. There would be other things like arm ache, jaw ache, sweating, flushing etc.

If you have had this pain before - which I think you have - then I doubt it is heart related.

You have had ECG's etc recently haven't you?

anxiety causes bad chest pain as the muscles tense up.

Hi Eggy

Hope you feeling better now. It is scary when you feel anxious and get chest pains I know.

Take care and try to relax a little.

I'm still getting pains and stuff but can't be anything serious i wouldn't have thought even though it feels bad.

Hi how u feeling today? Like yourself im getting chest pains had them for weeks but they hve got worse. Its scary when its your chest

Still the same, I managed 30 mins on my exercise bike, I'm not used to it i got it yesterday and put it up today, Felt really dizzy after being on it, I presume that's normal? I do quite a bit of walking but i don't normally do really physical exercise but i have started it today as part of my plan to lose weight, I have already lost a stone and 4 pounds in 6 weeks and want to get rid of more by combining it with vigorous exercise.

OMG eggy i feel for you as i have had the same - except mine shoot down just to the left of my chest where ur heart is and i get petrified and then the vious circle starts again of the anxiety

I also talk myself into that it couldnt be anything bad the longer it is there as i can walk about which i imagine you wouldnt be able to if it was the dreaded HA

[Eggy]

I went to the walk in centre yesterday as i couldn't get in to see my GP, They said i have a chest infection although i'm not very convinced because i have had them before and this time i have no cough and just chest pains and shortness of breath.

Really worried about quite a few things right now.
