Chest pain, arm numbness and upper back pain

[laurenissick]

I have been to the hospital 3 times for chest pain, mostly on the left side, left arm pain (sometimes numb, sometimes achey), and sharp pain in my upper back.  They ran an EKG, CT scan (they thought i had a blood clot in my lungs), and a chest x-ray.  Their results where all basically the same, that it was anxiety or indigestion.    Now, I have been on Zoloft for a long time now for anxiety, but when I started having chest pains and numbness in my arm, I began having panic attacks. (Mainly because nobody can figure out what the problem is)  So, I am now on meds for anxiety attacks, which isn't helping because nobody can tell me what is wrong with me. Now I still have numbness/sharp pains in my left arm, which varies in strength.  I have a pain directly to the right of my left shoulder blade and another about 2 inches below my collar bone.  Pain medication temperarily helps. The other thing that really helps is drinking beer, which is very costly.  Sometimes it hurts when I breathe in, but it may just be the expansion of my chest that hurts.  Does anyone know of anyone who has the same sort of thing. This has been going on for 4 months and I just cannot take it anymore. I am basically afraid its my heart since my arm keeps getting numb and my chest hurts.  Help!!! Please! (Oh yeah, Im 26 years old, I smoke, but I am pretty healthy. I am 5'5'' and weigh 124 lbs)

I'm experiencing the same issue. I had it for two months now. My blood pressure has been skyrocketing. I have two kids and feel the same way. Did you ever get the issue resolved.

I can't believe I found this. Just sitting here bored and decided to google my symptoms. I have been having these exact same things happen for OVER A YEAR!!!!!!! It actually started very slowly over two years ago and progresed badly. I go to the hospital, have very high blood pressure, see a doctor. Xrays, blood work, ect. Nothing! the attacks seem to get worse and wors that it feels like I should die but dont. One important thing you should know about me. I dont have panic attacks. I'm such a calm person and thats what is scariest! I abused meth and smoked as a younger person. Not proud of this, but now clean but chew, 28 years old. I see that these post are from 2007 thru 2009. It is now 2012 as I write this. Please, if anybody has found anything out, email, please! Every day is more suffering when u dont know what is wrong with you. Thank you. Jesse........ ***@****

Read this one,,,,,, this is crazy, problem area, left side of my body,with pain and numbness,and inflammation , my foot pain is the worst, it feels like I need to crack my big toe, squeeze my foot and it relieves all the pain for a brief moment while the blood begins to flow threw the left side of my body,, but that's just the beginning..I feel it all from my foot, to the leg, my thigh, hip, side and my arm,under arm, shoulder, chest and breast, my face, head,  ear, eye, tongue, nose, and shortness of breath, also my hand and pointing finger that feels the same as my big toe,,,,,,my Hands even turn blue on both my left and right sides,, that's lack of oxygen right? Other than that, it's all on the left side,, the right side of my body is just fine,,,,I even have
problems with memory loss,,,,,I don't except it but I do feel it.... What is this
crazy thing,,,,, is it a blood flow problem, cancer, muscular problem, stroke,
heart problem, collapsed lung,
breast cancer, arthritis, pinched nerves????? Is it a combination of things, What is it? I'm tired all the time, have to sit down and take my time on some days,,, it's not always that
bad but the pain and numbness is constant...I've been to a foot doctor,
general doc., with no real answer of what's wrong with me.. Heart test and
a number of other general test,,, all came back fine. Does anybody have a clue... I'm a female, 31, and about 215 lbs
