chest pain

I suffer from these extremely painful chest pains, that usually come on when I'm laying down or sleeping.. The pain is sharp and crushing right in the center of my chest and goes into my back betweeen my shoulder blades.. Doctors can't figure out what this is. ekg, stress test, xrays are all normal. Labs normal. I have high bp and high coloestral..

Nothing has been ruled out.. THe family doctor has finally decided to take me serious and refer me to a cardioligist after dealing with these attacks for a almost a year now. I will be sure to look up Prinzmetal angina. A friend of mine has also suggested that maybe I have a hital hernia and it make a person feel like they are having a heart attack.

Also, look up microvascular disease. I suffer with this, and it is no fun. It's also known as cardiac syndrome X.  Take care, Ally
