Hi all,
I’m going to do my best to cut a long story short.
9 months ago I began getting extreme chest pain. I genuinely believed I was having a heart attack, turned out I wasn’t. I have been in and out of hospital on numerous occasions to no avail. I have had bloods done and an ultrasound last November and told no gallstones apparently. I have had an endoscopy which has revealed a loose hiatus but no hernia seen. Doctor has noted talks fast heart rate and I’m currently on beta blockers and waiting to see a cardiologist because of COVID.
Now down to the description of the pain. Tonight for example, I ate chicken and chips ( yes fatty, greasy takeaway) and BOOM my chest feels like a horse is sitting on it and it’s been squeezed. Now this doesn’t happen all the time when I eat fatty food which confuses me more. So the pain, pressure, squeezing and I’ve had right shoulder blade pain alongside right rib cage pain all these months.
I am so at the end of my tether with it all. It has taken over my life. Before this I was a healthy 31 year old who runs half marathons. I take a beta blocker tablet, anti acid tablet and IBS tablet every morning and still I get this pain. It may sound dramatic but I envision just ripping my chest out with my bare hands at times. I really don’t know how much more I can take.
Any advice, help would be appreciated.
