Chest Pain

[sullysully]

I am a 23 year old male. I have never had a major health concern before. About 2 months ago I had an abnormal ekg. I went to the ER two different times with chest pain and had normal ekgs there and my enzymes and Xray was normal. I have weird symptoms like body pain with throbs around my body that either feel like spasms or twitching. I had a normal stress test. have recently had more pains in my chest they are on the left side they are sharp sometimes. I am now worried it could be a heart valve issue. I have a slight cough but not breathing problems. I am schedualed for an echocardigram soon. But, I thought i'd get another opinion.

Another thing you might want to look into if all heart tests come back negative is possible GERD.  I suffer from GERD and a hiatal hernia and I have the same symptoms as you.  I have had pretty much every cardiac test you can have and it found nothing.  

I don't know why they do EKG's anymore because they are unreliable in my book.  Too much of a chance of tech error with misplacement of the leads.  I had an EKG done one time and the doctor came running in after to make sure I was ok.....turns out the tech had them on backwards!!!  That's when I decided I don't care what it says anymore.  I think wait and see what the echo says and go from there.  Don't let the abnormal EKG get you all worked up....I know easier said than done.
