Chest pain is a common symptom that can be concerning, as it is often can be associated with heart-related issues. However, it's important to note that not all chest pain is caused by heart problems. In this video, Prof. Barlis will delve into the details of chest pain, including its symptoms, potential causes, and the evaluation process by a healthcare professional. It's crucial to remember that chest pain may be a sign of an underlying heart condition, so if you are experiencing pain and feeling unwell, it's important to seek urgent medical attention and contact your local emergency service number for advice.

I would pass under the radar for you just like I did at my Dr’s when I was having a heart attack. I get “silent heart attacks” and an EKG couldn’t see it even when it was happening. I am the kind of female who the 1st sign of a heart problem would have been sudden death. I am the one who decided that I had a problem and that became very clear in the CATH Lab, so my not liking the burning sensation has saved my life. Since it doesn’t show up on tests I have a medical alert dog and she can tell I am getting ready to have a problem before it happens and then I have time to prevent it with meds. She is always right and what a help that has been. She is young and tiny but she knows her job. She is so good that she alerted for another person who was getting ready to have a heart attack and was able to help prevent it. Hurrah for service dogs working as medical alert dogs.

Thanks for the Explanations. in one evening while walking gently, i felt pain spreading from the neck to the left side of the chest above the heart, in the front. the pain gradually increased and kept increasing until i laid flat on my back, then it decreased ant went away, 2 days later it happened again and i laid flat on my back and pain gradually disappeared. 2 weeks earlier I had EKG and X ray of heart, all looked normal. your advise is appreciated.

Tks Prof Barlis very explanatory well presented on issues of the heart

[kathylewis]

Thank you very much. Very informative. My husband who 60, gets sudden very sharp pain primarily on his left side. He doubles over and clutches his chest. No sweating, bp is ok mostly (125|85), blood sugar levels around 4.5 to 4.7. Slightly clammy. Lasts approx 5 mins or so then fades away. There has been times this can happen 2 or 3 times in a row. Yes he is a smoker (5 a day now … down from 25). Gall bladder is a bit restless at times after rich or spicy food. Occasionally takes gavascon tablets for heart burn. Family has heart valve problems.

[SheilaSteptoe]

Fabulous and clear explanations which is much appreciated as I understood exactly what you were saying so thank you

[weezydee]

Hi, may I ask what would be the best scan to have to check the heart and see any problems internally?

[misterbaleize]

A most valuable lecture; thank you - also good to hear a "Medical Person" calling out the, how shall I say, injectable cough mixture.

Hello, Im 54 too, and it sucks been 54 😢. Well, for once, I think I am 54. I can't remember anyway. I was born in 1969, so I think that makes me 55 this year. I'm telling you my memory is bad. I have always suffered from chest related pain that always kept
me from doing any full-time sports. The moment I started doing some running, jumping, or whatever, I got this pain first just below my chest trunk. Then, little by little, I detected a more localized pain around the left side of my shoulder.
Every time I try any kind of exercise. I still did some semi military work as a fireman in Mexico when I was 17 or 18, but I had to work with this condition as money was more important than my life or health, of course 😅.
I'm curious to know if these pains are somewhat more common in most people and we just never talk about it. This is the best explaining video I have seen so far. Thanks.

I have near constant fear of heart attacks, i am only 26 but i have had sinus tachycardia for a long time, a few months ago i started getting bad palpitations and got a holter monitor for 24 hours, they also did an x ray, ecg, blood, and echo, the cardiologist said i have sinus rythm but a pretty fast heart. I got beta blocker low dose 23.75mg but somehow im not reassured i still get tightness and often feel like when i take a deep breath its uncomfortable and tight from the chest to the throat, my life is completely in ruins because i cant stop worrying and i have no idea what to do... tingling face and feet hot flashes, god i hate this

[ladyleo]

I have pain with exertion but only when I lean foward as if to pick something up from the floor, what is that

[yeelailin]

❤❤❤ Thanks Prof. Am an ardent new fan. 🎉🎉🎉

I had my angiogram on Oct 29th. Discharged on 30th. Since then am having pains on the chest which causes severe anxiety now.

With your explainations I proceeded to use apple cider but no avail.

Now after brewing ginger juice the pain seems to have subsided. 😂😂😂

I do have a history of gerd, diverticulitis too.
