I had an ECG today -

[enid]

as I have been having chest pains for a while now. It came back normal but I'm still very worried. I keep getting a very uncomfortable dull ache in my chest (where my heart is) - the ache radiates down my arm sometimes. GP thinks it is probably muscular skeletal (I have problems with neck/back). I am being a hypochondriac. I have also had a cholestrol test. Have drunk lots of wine tonight in an effort to dull pain/block out horrible day.

Oh enid, sorry you're having such a bad time. Congratulations on normal ecg. Sorry I can't offer any decent advice.

Have you thought about a chiropractor? I had a bulging disc in my neck and the pain radiated down my arm and occasinally my fingers went numb. It took quite a few visits but did clear up with the adjustments.

I have been to a physio but they won't treat me - I blacked out when they manipulated my neck - so I have to get an MRI scan before I can go on with treatment. I am presuming the two are linked (chest pain/neck pain) but still v worrying.

Sorry enid I read your thread title out of the corner of my eye and I thought it said 'had an EGG today'! I thought to myself, these bored women will make a conversation out of anything!

Hope everything turns out ok and easy to correct. xxx

Hi Enid, sorry to hear about this If it still worries you what about asking for and echocardiogram? How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

[Tinker]

Oh Enid, sounds worrying for you but am sure all is well

Good grief, Enid, what a worry for you, I am really sorry to hear about all this. Glad the ECG was normal and roll on a swift MRI scan with a similarly good outcome. Please keep us posted, we don't see enough of you these days.

Poor you enid. Hey, it came back ok, that's good, right? What about an osteopath? Homeopath? Sports massage? Sorrry if these are inappropriate suggestions. ikwym about being a hypochondriac, I am one too, so sympathy x
