Chest pains

Ok some backgroud
I am 5"11 146 24 years old.
Work in a Receiving department for a major motorcycle company.

over the last week or so i developed a burning pain is the left side of my chest and in my arm. with abdominal pains and body aches in my back and right leg as well as a sore throat and an ear ache. I went to see a doctor and had an ECG done and it came back abnormal and suggested a conduction delay. what does that mean? other wise i had a throat infection and an ear infection.

I went to an ER where blood work and a chest xray was done. everything came back fine and i was released. My blood was all good, there was nothing shown in my chest xray and was told that i may have pulled a muscle or damaged a disk. Today the day after the ER i still have the same pains, they are milder now it appears so far but i am still left with no answers. My discharge was noted as unknown pain for unknown cause;

There conductive pathways that the electrical impulses follow to conttact the heart chambers.  Occasionally, there is a skipped heartbeat caused by an interuption of the signal due an occasional block, stray signal, etc.  Almost always it is of no medical significance and a common occurence.

You may have to rely on your doctors for an explanation regarding your symptoms.  They have test results, health history, etc.

Thanks for sharing,
