Chest Pain for the last 6 months!
I am a 30 year old female living in the UK. I used to smoke 20 a day but have recently quit, rarely drink and don't really exercise that much but am not overweight.
In January this year, I suddenly became aware of a left sided chest pain. This continued until I got to the point where my chest pains were prompting panic attacks! I have since got these under control but am still suffering constant chest pains on and off every day.
I have had 3 ecg's, a chest X-ray and this week (all normal) and I will be having a CT scan and 24 hour event monitor this week. Most doctors have told me this is likely to be muscle related which I am willing to accept. However, after taking Ibuprofen for the last 8 weeks to no effect, I am starting to wonder?
It doesn't seem to get any worse with movement BUT on occassions, my whole chest feels tender as if I've been punched all over it and I get sore breasts as though at the start of my cycle. It does not intensify with exercise or stretching. The pains are short and sharp, lasting a second maybe but they can come every 2 seconds for half an hour.
I wondered how likely it is to have muscular chest pain for 7 months and if not, can anyone shed some light on this please?
I have taken meds for acid reflux just incase which haven't helped either.

I too have the same symptoms as you two, I know its an old post but im looking for any info I am a healthy 25 year old. I have had heart, lungs, blood, pee, ekg, eco, tests all came back normal but still have chest pain that comes and goes and it can spread all over my body for short periods of time, I can exercise fine as well but its running my life now. Please any help would be appreciated. I have found many post online with people with the same problem but no answers.
Hi i know this was in 2009 but I'm having the same problems nows and i wondered if yours just went away ?
Please help as its driving me insane I'm a healthy 29yr old guy who loves extreme sports.

I have had almost identical chest pains for 7 months now with no diagnosis. Lots and lots of tests but no answers. Sure wish the pains would go away.
I surely dont feel as bad as i did 6 months ago. No more painic attacks, just pain whenever im not doing anything. Sounds weird. No pain when i exercise or exert myself, only at rest.

Well, the CT scan came back normal as did the 24 hour event monitor and I was told to go away and assume this is all muscular as nothing has been picked up. The Doctor did say to get a mammogram done as I have nodular breast tissue though but I'm not sure this could be the cause of my pains.
I am so relieved that my heart and lungs are fine but still so infuruated that I am no further forward than I was 9 months ago. I am so fed up with not having a diagnosis.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Could anyone please tell me if its possible to have muscular pain for 7 months with little relief from Ibuprofen?
