Sudden Upper Back Pain, Chest Tightness? Never Felt This Before!?

September 21st, 2009

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?

After Heart Taken Care Of, Still Have Symptoms Of Nausea, Upper Back Pain, Chest Pain, Tiredness, And Headache

September 13th, 2009

In past three years, have had femoral bypasses and ablation. Heart shows “moderate” blockage in caths, but not stentable. The “cardias” seem to be under control. Doctors now saying it’s not cardiac, but something else (esophogeal, stomach?????) Something is definitely wrong with me, however, I now think the heart thing is temporarilty under control. ANyone with similar story?
