Never Felt This Before!? http://painchest.net/chest-pain-questions/sudden-upper-back-pain-chest-tightness-never-felt-this-before/ http://painchest.net/chest-pain-questions/sudden-upper-back-pain-chest-tightness-never-felt-this-before/#comments Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:25:53 +0000 admin http://painchest.net/chest-pain-questions/sudden-upper-back-pain-chest-tightness-never-felt-this-before/ Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> I’m a 29 y.o. female. A few weeks ago I developed these symptoms very suddenly, while lying on my left side in bed:
* Heaviness in chest
* Sharp pain in stomach, right below sternum
* Upper back tightness, pain
* Shortness of breath.
Symptoms went away when upper back was massaged deeply. Massaging stopped, symptoms came back. Massaging restarted, symptoms went away. All in all, I was knocked down by this for about 20-30 minutes. When it went away, I felt like nothing had happened at all.
That same day I had started antibiotics for strep throat. Had taken first dose 10-15 minutes before symptoms started. Completed 10-day regiment of antibiotics, symptoms haven’t come back.
I suffer from PSVT, but never had anything like this happen before.
Other medication being taken at the moment: tylenol with codeine for the throat pain, Yaz contraceptive.
At first I thought I didn’t have enough water and the pills were stuck in the trachea, causing all that. Any ideas?

Concerned, yes. I’d schedule an appointment with my doctor. Of course if it concerns you that much, next time it happens go to the hospital.
It could be serious, then again it could just be stress. It also depends on the pain in the chest. If the pain is a “lightning pain” that “streaks” across the chest, it’s most likely stress. However if it radiates down your left arm or up the left side of your neck or jaw, see a doctor pronto.

Will be replaced in a few weeks but she is currently having symptoms of —-> chest pain,feeling faint,atrial fib. She had an ablation in August for AVRNT, went to ER and did CT Scan and CT Scan was normal. My question is What are the symptoms of a low pacemaker battery when everything else checks out normal? She was told a year ago (October 2005) battery was good for another 19 months.
