hi,
I am a 34 year old male. I am having chest discomfort, actually more like upper back discomfort, it started about 2 month ago, it's never any pain, just discomfort at the center of my upper back, it also spread to rest of the back as well. the second symptoms is dizziness, i felt it whole day long. Sometimes i have trouble talking as well. I checked the website and seem like i have most symptoms of a heart attack...
1)Uncomfortable pressurePressure ulcer, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes. Except,
-I have no pain and the symptoms last whole day long for 2 month already instead of few minutes.
3)Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.
-I have all of the above except shortness of breath and fainting
4)I have tingling feeling around my chest, neck, upper back and shoulders
Here is what I have done so far.
-Stress Echo - Everything came back normal (Done a month ago)
-Endoscopy - Everything came back normal (Done a month ago)
-Chest X-Ray for Lung - Everything is normal (Done a month ago)
-Nuclear Stress test - Everything came back normal (Done a year ago)
I smoke half pack a day, and have Cholesterol of 211 with 132 LDL Chol,
What should i do next? CT or MRI of the heart? See a Neurologist for my dizziness?
You sound a lot like the problems I was having. I just put up a post today "MIDCAB". I also smoked a half a pack a day. I had the ct and it found the problem.
Thanks for the information!
