I’ve had acid reflux forever but I have not taken my medication in over a year because I couldn’t afford a doctor. The acid reflux has often caused me chest pain but for the past 3 weeks it’s going down my arm & numb and I have headaches. My friend scared me and told me I was having heart attack symptoms. I’m 22 though. Is it possible that this is acid reflux still or would that definetely be a heart problem? All my grandparents except 1 had heart problems so I know it runs in the family. I go see a doctor today at the clinic for something else so I can get a referral to both a heart and stomach doctor if that’s what I need. I’m just scared now that she said that. Has anyone ever had this with acid reflux?

Acid Reflux, & Chest Pain,with Left Arm Going Numb?
February 11th, 2010Upper Back And Upper Chest Pain, Switched From Right Side To Left?
February 8th, 2010about 2 weeks ago i started experiencing upper back pain on the right side of my body around the shoulder blade area, about 2 days later i noticed when i took deep breaths i had an increasing pain in the upper right chest area (about 3-4″ up from the nipple). ive tried aleve, motrin, asprin, and tylenol and aleve seems to dull the pain slightly but not much. i didnt take pain meds hardly at all, probabally once on the first day when i noticed back pain and thats all. about after a week had finally passed the pain almost all went away then it came back again but now its on the left side and has the same symptoms. i dont have health insurance (due to a forgotten bill – resumes beginning of next month).
then ill see doc if it dont go away by then. <– i know that sounds bad

I Have Chest Pain On The Left Side, What Is It?
February 6th, 2010It’s kind of a pressure when I’m not breathing, but when I do I would describe it as a sharp pain. It also hurts a little when I press on my chest. It’s fine when I first wake up and progresses throughout the day. It’s constant pain and not episodes. I doubt it’s a heart attack considering I’m 18, exercise 2+ hours 5-6 days a week, don’t eat too much junk, and there is no history of heart conditions in my family. Don’t recommend I go to the ER unless you’re paying.
I Get A Chest Pain On The Left Side Of My Chest That I Only Get After I Eat Greasy Food. Why?
February 4th, 2010My mother was a Nurse’s Aide and said it’s most likely gas. I’m 21 and have gone up and down in weight over the years. Don’t know if that’s relevant. I’m looking for a possible answer here because I don’t have health insurance to see a doctor. But last time I had chest pains when I had insurance in ’07, cardiologist said I was perfectly healthy.

Chest Pain On Left Side, Stress Activated?
January 31st, 2010I am 40 year old male and diabetic for past 5 years. I gets chest pain ocassionally for the past 2 years. It is tolerable but it gives a feeling that my chest is blown up. I seen many Dr s and ECG were taken but they couldn’t find anything abnormal.
Sometimes this feeling comes when I get tensed at work and vanish after few hours. Sometimes it stays for 2 to 3 days. If I rub on chest area this feeling increases.
This comes only on my left chest and sometimes at the back of left shoulders. One Dr suggested that this is sign of Asthma.
Does anybody have similiar symptoms. Since it is at left side I am afraid this is heart related. If anyone knows please help
Pain In Left Chest And Tingling In Extremities?
January 31st, 2010Recently I noticed that when I take in a deep breath, I get a pain in the left side of my chest. It is not intense, but it was sharp enough that it startled me. It is only noticeable when I breathe deeply. It feels somewhat like the pressure/tightness of an asthma attack without any difficulty of moving air. (Yes, I do have asthma but this does not appear to be related to it.)
Also, I have been noticing some sporadic tingling in my fingers and my face the last few days.
I have no idea if these two are related or not. I plan on seeing a doctor, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone might have insight. Thanks.
