Chest pain/burning

[Tirazline]

Hi, well I have been having chest pains for over a month now. I went to the ER last month with severe chest pains and he dx me with costochronditis (after the EKG ruled out a myocardial infarction). I am 29 years old and believe to be in good health. This chest pain is chronic. It hasn't let up at all in a month. It is everyday morning until night constantly. The pain is on my left side and moves from far left to sternum and sometimes on the right side and a little in my abdomen. Now the pain also is accompanied by  burning sensations similiar to heart burn. It is very severe and is causing fear and anxiety because I think it is a heart condition. Should I go back to the ER or accept costochronditis with new symptons? Any help would be greatful Thanks

go to web site--diagnose-me. look for your condition. it will have the answers. at your age the chances of heart problems is almost non existent. plus trying to get a doctor to do a full workup with the insurance paying for is more non existent. have your tried any nsaid pain relievers like ibuprophen? nsaid stands for non steroidal anti-inflamatory drug. but that web site should give you help. costochronditis is common. when a word ends in itis, it means inflammation, like tonsilitis.

You need more testing  ,of course go back and ask for more tests. EKG can't show everything. Tell about your pain, they must give the total testing for you. It might be ultrasound etc.It is your life. Take charge.My best for you.
