Hello,
I am 21 years old, i have no family history of heart disease.
For the past 4 months going on 5 I have had sharp chest pains that radiate from the left to center to right sides, and sometimes into my back and left shoulder and into my left arm.
I have been to the ER and ekg's and x-rays multiple times but to reveal that they don't find anything.
I have tried ib profin 800 mg, nexium, klonopin...well anything i can think of and the doctor could think of to stop the pains and nothing has worked. He now wants me to see a cardiologist to get a heart echo and stress test done.
I am only 21 years old, and I am very confused why this is happening to me.
I am starting to get very scared because the pains do not get better but only worse, and I am also scared to see the cardiologist because i'm afraid that they will find something wrong with my heart at only 21 years of age, I want a happy enjoyable life, I'm too young to be worrying about my heart.
Is there any other explanations for these pains?
I am at a loss and can find no explanation.
Thanks for your time,
