chest vibrations
by sonographer2004, Oct 27, 2007 10:37AM
I have been having chest pain along with these aggravating vibrations and left arm numbness for over a year now and it has just recently gotten worse. I've had a stress test, echo, nuclear medicine test and lab work done last year when it first started and everything came back normal except for a little regurgitation and they said it's nothing to worry about. Can you tell me what causes this and if I should be worried. These pains and vibrations are getting stronger and are happening more often and it causing me anxiety. Also, I have a lot of fatigue associated with all of this. Please help me.

I am not sure what to say about this. I get the vibration question every now and then and have never had a patient with a concerning cardiac evaluation when I have been asked this questions. If you cardiac tests are negative -- and it sounds like they are --you are not significant increased cardiac risk because of this symptoms. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what causes it.
I hope this helps and thanks for posting.
