Chest Pain 5 Months, Doctors Can’t Explain?

January 8th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply »

I’ve had chest pain for about 5 months. 3 different hospitals, 6 different doctors. Nobody knows what is wrong with me. I’m scared., mosty about cancer.
Symptoms. Pain in the center, feels like behind the bone and sternum. Also on the right side. No pain some days. Some days it really hurts for a few hours and usually hurts a little all day. No apparent connection with food, drink, sleep or stress. No coughing, no blood, no pain when swallowing.
I had 2 x-rays which apparently look ok. I had a CT Scan which the doctor didn’t see anything obvious. He said maybe the lymph glands look a little inflamed, maybe because they were making a lot of white blood cells to fight something, maybe that something was esophogitis, maybe Motilium for 2 weeks would help.
I don’t like these “maybes”. What can I do? Is it possible for there to be cancer that a CT scan can’t see? What about the lyphm glands? Could it be cancer in there but not detectable with CT Scan? HIV? I’ve been tested for that.

    I had that same thing too. It even felt like if you pushed on the sternum, that it would hurt in the same way. But usually it felt like it was located behind the sternum too. And kinda radiated across the chest. I had all the tests too, with nothing, I researched myself, and found that maybe it was possibly Tiettes syndrome. Not sure on the spelling. But it is sorta like the cartlidge feels inflamed. A few years later, I had pain in the left ribs too, all the time, and could feel it when pushed with the fingers, but they didnt see anything there either. So I’m not sure what it was, but it still comes and goes.

    Maybe some of your nerves or veins are just pushing to each other. My advice is have a full body massage.
