Chest Pain

Chest Pain

I'm a 36 year old male. About 2 years ago I went to my doctor with chest tightness and pain. He did a physical with an ekg and said everything was normal and blamed it on anxiety. Well, it never really went away and lately it has become worse. My chest feels tight all the time and I get some sharp pains randomly on the left side of my chest about 2 inches below my collar bone. About 2 weeks ago I started to get very bad indigestion which I've never had before. The chest pain happens when I'm relaxed or when I exercise, it really doesn't matter. I'm starting to worry a lot and I think that is making it worse or giving me an ulcer!

What should I do? Go back to my doctor again? See some sort of specialist? Not sure what to do...

Oh yeah, I'm not taking any medication or had any history of any illness or diseases. My Grandfather and Grandmother had heart issues late in life but that's about it.

Thanks,

Mike

You can go back to your doctor and ask for further testing, but if you were having the symptom while on the ekg and it was normal then it's not likely your heart.

Did you get a full physical? Perhaps a referral to a GI or other doc would help?
