Everyday upper left chest pain

[cookienkikin]

Hello, I'm a 21 yr old male, general overall good health, I'm 5'11 and weigh about 165 lbs.  For about the past 4 months now I have been having everyday recurring chest pain.  It's on the upper left side of my chest, I guess right over my heart.  Like in the middle of the middle of my chest and my left breast.  I've been to the er numerous times, and diff. doc's and they all said my heart was fine, i had two echo's and on the most recent one, which was 2 months ago, it came back and under tech comments it said i had "moderate tricuspid regurgatation, but everything else looked normal.  I'm really tired of dealing with the pain everyday and I would like to know what it is, sometimes when it starts to hurt i can put my hand over my heart and it feels like it is beating harder than usual. and my last ekg was on jan 08, 2007 and it says on the computer read out as follows:
Vent rate. 77 bpm,  PR interval 122 ms,  QRS duration 106 ms, QT/QTc 366/414 ms,  P-R-T axes -19 -22 -5,  Normal sinus rhythm within normal abnormal ecg when compared with ecg of 27-oct-2005
Questionable change in QRS axis, ST no longer elevated in Inferior leads, T wave inversion now evident in inferiour leads.  ( My question is what could be causing the pain in that area for so long and does that ekg look bad?)  I also have been having skipped beat like in my throat, like a contricting feeling/ active pulsing in neck.  but they have been going down.

im 18 and i have had this pain every single day for the past 2 years. It started when i was 16. The doctors told me i was ok but im like " hello? i dont feel ok?!?!?" i think i know when im in pain and when im not well ya anyways all they said was that i had an anxiety attack and im definitely sure i didnt because when i had my first "incident" i was sitting in a classroom taking notes. next thing i knew my arm started to tingle then go numb and then my chest in the middle slightly above the heart was in gorging pain. and i blacked out. Now is that an anxiety attack? gosh i really hope someone finds something fast. And i think you should find a doctor who will put a heart monitor on you. its like a portable monitor and the records your beats and actions of your heart. If you have a pain everyday like a sharp pain just random like i do or when i do intense activity i would feel the pain. i usually feel it like every  few hours.  anyways if you feel the pain check your pulse near your neck if its beating weird as in not at the same pace as you think your heart is i think its something to do with your arteries. Maybe a nerve or artery constricts and prevents blood flow through the heart creating a rush or sharp pain.

That sounds pretty familiar to be honest, esecially the throat thing. I've been having the same sort of symptoms for a few months now, pains in the left side of my chest and a feeling like something is rising or filling up my throat. Last week when I ran for the bus after a  minute or so sitting down it felt like something stared twitching in my throat and when it did I felt like I couldn't breathe. The doctor says it's all anxiety based which I find kinda hard to stomach some days, especially when I'm sitting there watching tv and sudden my chest starts hurting. Hope this helps
