Can pinched nerve cause constant chest burning

[sunshine1109]

I have had a severe constant burning in the left side of my chest for 8 mths now, I have had all heart tests done and lung tests everything has checked out ok...The burning, tingling sensation in my chest never goes away and it is so intense, I went to a chirpractor as a last resort because the Gastro Dr said he wanted x-ray of my thoracic spine before he did a endoscopy because my symptoms did not seem gastric to him, so I go to the Dr and she looks at my spine and I have a bad curve (scoliosis) that she says is pressing on the nerves causing the burning, pain, heart feelin like it is thrusting through my chest just a horrible feeling it is so hard to explain,  she has been working on me for 3 weeks now and I have no relief yet she keeps saying the nerves that are being pressed are the ones going to my heart and chest...Has anyone  ever felt this before?? If so please shed some light on this it is making me crazy I am at my wits end...

Has anyone found out what the burning sensation across the chest is caused from. Been dealing with this for months now. My back is all messed up as well and everyone keeps telling me its from panic/anxiety attacks?

I have been going through the same for last 4 months.
Continous discomfort on the left side of my chest is not allowing me to focus on any work. I have got all cardiac related tests done, but everything is OK. Doctors couldn't figure out yet what the issue is.

Could someone please help me with any details on this? How to get rid of this? Is it very serious? Please...appreciate any help on this!

Thanks,
Sati

I know this is late in the game, but have you since figured out the cause of you chest burning? I'm almost at 2 years dealing with this and after all the testing, still no clues as to the issue. Thanks!

Well she should of taken x-rays my Dr. did a 2 hr evaluation on me before she did anything else to make sure it wasnt anything more serious.  I hope you get some relief as I know how bad I feel, mine is strictly in my chest I feel like i have a torch in there and the tightness is so bad I will pray for us both to get some answers....shine

Yes it's in my left chest, but it starts in my mid back and bores right straight  through to my chest. In my chest its mostly pressure and tightness, in my back its pressure, burning and sometimes stabbing pain, its constant.

I saw a Chiropractor myself about 5-6 weeks ago, I wanted her to take an X-ray but she didn't, the adjustments just made me worse. I stopped going after 3-4 sessions, I was worried about her injuring me worse. One Doctor told me that because my neck and low back are fused, my thoracic is a mess.

She seems to think by trying to adjust my spine and also I have a inversion table at home that I use twice daily that this will relieve some of the pressure but after almost 4 wks of this and 600 bucks later I am getting highly discouraged..I am so sick of waking up with this everyday and trying to do my daily routine with this constant horrible discomfort..Is yours located in your chest??? All my discomfort it left sided in chest area....if I find anything that works ill let ya know so far every Dr is stumped...

Yeah, I have the same thing, constant pressure, burning the whole bit, but I couldn't tell you how to get rid of it, because I haven't had any success.

The scoliosis thing makes perfect sense, when your spine curves its putting pressure on your rib cage and everything in that area, but I don't have scoliosis although I do have other C and T spine problems. How does your Chiropractor plan on fixing this?
