A brief history of me, im 34 6' 2" a fit firefighter Male of an athletic build. Approx 10 years ago i had severe chest pains and went into the hospial, told me that i had an enlarged heart and that i had a chest infection. That was that. Then approx 5 years later a similar almost identical thing happened. Went into hospital a & e again. And the same outcome. Then this year on the 25th August i was at work and throughout the day the pain in the left side of my chest was getting worse, and particuarly bad when i brethed in. So i went into hospital again, i had a chest x ray which showed an enlarged heart which i knew. An e c g which showed an inflamed heart lining and my blood tests both came back negative. But the pain was immense i thought i was having a heart attack. So i was prescribed with anti inflamm tablets Diclofenac and pain killers co drymol. And over the next 2 weeks or so it has not been too bad. I have been in contact with my doctor every 2 weeks, and he think he detected a slight murmur so i am waiting for an echo on the 15th october. But the last few days have been the worst so far, i was laying on my couch watching tv and all of a sudden i went really dizzy and light headed then about 2-3 seconds later i had a sharp pain in my chest(left side). I went to bed so scared that night and couldn't sleep for hours i kept feeling a twinge and something going on near or in my heart.(difficult to explain though). Then yesterday the same thing but no chest pain just very dizzy and light headed so i went to the doctors and examined me but nothing he can do till the echo results. ANy ideas anyone, or anything similar happened to anyone. Thankyou for your time. And please would someone respond.
