Could my chest pain just be digestive problems?

[Anonymous]

I have been getting scattered around chest pains for months, been to the doctors and hospital lots as I am worried, they brushed it off as anxiety every time because of my age (22)

Right now I just got a dull achey pain on my left side of chest below just below collar bones, it felt like flutters in my heart and on and off pain and I can feel my heartbeat everywhere. I feel like it's pointless bothering to go back to the doctors

I'm currently borderline thyroid if that helps with anything

I also ate a BIG KFC today and my belly is making crazy noises, could it be related?

I also have asthma, could it be asthma related? I feel like digestive issues just because my parents both have IBS

My dad got heart disease at the age of 30

It could be your thyroid causing it hard to say.
Does the pain come with shortness of breath,
Nausea, Loss of appetite, Heart Palpitations?
Yes Asthma can cause it's share of symptoms.
How overall of a healthy appetite do you have?
If your dad was diagnose at age 30 with heart
disease by all means you should see a cardiologist
They could give you a echo cardiogram and even
stress test to check you along with holter monitors.
Yes your chest pain can be digestive problems for
sure.

Honestly, it sounds heart related, don't listen to the doctor, make sure you ask to see a cardiologist, you could die from this at any moment if you don't seek help.

Sounds like it could be acid reflux or heartburn. I was diagnosed with it in 2010 and it is a dull achy type of pain like you described. In addition to those symptoms, I also felt very dizzy and nauseous when it happened.

You could try taking some over-the-counter acid reducer pills like Prilosec or Prevacid. If the pain persists, I think it'd be best to go to a doctor to have it checked out.

Heart burn? Tension? Maybe try a heat pack on the area to loosen the muscles and try relaxation techniques if it's stress or anxiety related. Physical exercise is good too, doesn't have to be strenuous.

it could be heart burn, but it feels higher up (is that possible still?)

Acid-reflux if it's in your throat.. so it might be what you're eating. You can get something to help with that at a pharmacy.

If it's persistent you should go back to your Doctor's for further tests

If you have other anxiety symptoms too it's a possiblity it's that but If not, then it's unlikely. Don't self-diagnose yourself though. Go back to your Doctor

Could be, Gasses can go anywhere. My mom would randomly have sharp pains everywhere from chest to back to hip. But to be completely sure, go to your doc. DO NOT TRUST INTERNET CITIZENS!!!

You know when you have a bad asthma attack and you get knots in your back that reach around to your ribs? I'm guessing it's that.

I've had that same pain for months except on the right side and I had mentioned it as well to my doctor. She said it was acid reflux but my concern was the pain is in the chest.
