Have you experienced heart pain or do you know somebody who has? Tell me in the comments which symptoms you felt.

Was it one of the symptoms I mentioned in the video or something different? I’ll be interested to know.

Hi Doc, I just watched your video; it gave me a lot of information. I had Hyperthyroidism and I think it affected my heart. Thank you for sharing this.😊

I had a heart attack a month ago. My pain was NOT in the center of my chest. It was only in my shoulder and arm. Took 3 days before the pain was in my center chest.

[naimamoradi]

Thank you! The way you explain these big concepts makes it easy to understand

[RickandMorty]

[TheRealRhondaLee]

I’m having aching pain side of my heart radiates down my left arm. It’s been going on for about a week. I went to my doctor and he said there’s nothing wrong with me to go home.

This has helped me out alot! Thank you, I have had chest pain and I thought it was a heart issue. But this doesn't apply to me. I think my pain is more from lungs, I've had covid and viral bronchitus in the past. Plus I was working out alot and not properly eating or hydrating. I've since started eating right and drinking lots of water. Anyways, this was awesome. Thank you.

I'm not overly concerned, but, I woke up in the morning, got up, and during the movement of sitting back down, I felt all of a sudden a sharp tearing pain stretch across my chest. I felt like I was being pulled apart. It quickly dissipated, but I found I had a hard time breathing because the pain grew as I took in the air. I think it has something to do with pressure on the chest from expanding lungs.

Had a probably heart attack in 2009, a real heart attack in 2013 with 3 stents, a widow maker in 2022 with 3 more stents and another stent in my LAD widow maker a month ago that we caught before the heart attack. I have never felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest and nothing ever felt weird in my left arm. The probable one was pain across the shoulder blades with profuse sweating. the second was pain in solar plexus that went to shoulder blades with profuse sweating. The widow maker started as pain across shoulder blades that went away with rest and ended with pain so bad I couldn't stand it across my upper chest after 2weeks of ignoring it. I begged for pain killers. The newest one was burning across my chest and mild sweating relieved by rest and the LAD was 99% blocked. I don't think there is one thing that says you are having a heart attack besides the symptom going away with rest. Before my 2013 one the main thing was if I did something strenuous My legs would give out and I would fall down but my Doc thought my SVT was not fixed from the 2006 surgery. Feelings of impending doom and paranoia also come into play the closer you get. When you get really close denial is the main thing that will kill you. Heart attacks are simple to a doctor(find the blocked artery and fix it) but complex to the person having one.

If you, yourself, have never has a heart attack - then you don't know what it feels like. You only know how your patients describe it - and those descriptions very much depend on both education, and the general manner in which the particular person, reacts and responds, generally - to illness and pain.

I'm a 14 year old guy. My pain is very weird. I have been experincing some sudden chest pains for a while when exercising but for the last 4 days its been completely different. I first felt it when i lied down to sleep and i felt like something was pressuring my heart (left side of my chest). When i woke up i felt a weird, pain towards the left side of my chest. Over the last few days the pain was changing a lot. Most of the times it was on the left side of my chest. Sometimes I felt pressuring, burning, stabbing, but most of the time discomfort. I have to hold my hand on the left side of my chest for a while to relax. Also while that i was very stressed and i even started crying, the pain felt worse when i did that. I was always overthinking shit. That pain was lasting for 2 days when i decided to go the doc. I did a blood test and ecg, the blood test turned out to be fantastic but at the ecg i was VERY  STRESSED OUT, it turned out to be like 107 bpm or smt i think? Im pretty sure its not normal but at the first ecg i had it was way more, i was way more stressed by that time. When i did the blood test the nurse missed my vein at the left hand, and at the right hand she didnt. I took a nap for like 5 hours and slept for well over 10 hours that day. When i woke up today after that i felt dizziness, numbness in my left arm and i felt like my pain became slightly worse. My anxiety was insane. As im writing this its currently 3:30am and i can't fall asleep due to the annoying pain. I don't know what to do and i think i should go to a more proffesional doctor and seek more help to make sure its nothing that bad... what do i do??

My pain is more related to higher blood pressure. I used to think of it as chest muscle pain. Turns out i had hypertension. Thankfully i took notice of it at the right time. Modified my eating habits and the blood pressure has significantly come down under 130.

Thank you Doctor for your simple explanations. My son is 24 years old and complaining about heart palpitations, chest pain and breathing problem. We went to doctor and emergency room. EKG, blood, Throid results all normal. In your opinion what it could be? Thanks in advance.

[QuickThaW]

Because I might have anxiety for stressing so much and yelling so much

[paulinecarey]
