Take a salt tablet, cowboy. Get back in that saddle. If it still hurts, chug some Pepto Bismol. We got work to do.

This has been happening to me since i was a kid.
I thought I was having little heart attacks or something, but i couldn’t find anything online about it and was dismissed by doctors.
Is this not normal?

Seriously though, what are these? I’ve had them for years and I’ve tried to ask my doctor about it, but I had too many issues to deal with or they didn’ believe me idk

Idk but I’ve went in and everything checked out OK. Had a day where I had what I thought was a heart attack. Vision was going, heart was hurting, couldn’t breathe. I thought, “ah shit. Here I go.” and then it went away. Went in and it was not a heart attack. The answer was a shrug and nothing is abnormal.
So like… If it is a serious concern, it didn’t feel like it was treated as one and nothing was found.

Do you have issues with anxiety/panic attacks? Fun fact, panic attacks can manifest physically with nearly identical symptoms to a heart attack!
(This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get things checked out though)

Seriously.
Me: I have these medical issues I would like to have checked out. Maybe a blood test would be in order?
Doctor: How many units of alcohol do you consume per sitting, per month, please be specific.
Me: Uh…
Doctor: At what exact time do you poop every day?!?

Anxiety, gerd or heartburn in general (it’s literally called heartburn, this is more common than you’d think), and like a million other things.
I would get it with anxiety all the time before I was medicated, my doctor told me after my 3rd EKG that the pain from a heart attack really happens when you work it HARD. That might not be much for some people, but the Doc asked me if this happens often after physical activity at all.
My answer was no, and I hike, walk, go up stairs, do all that stuff and have no issue or pain with my heart. YMMV, and as I age I still take heart stuff seriously, but that reduced my anxiety around it significantly.

It was heartburn for me. As soon as I take calcium carbonate it goes away. Absolutely horrible pain which I didn’t think could possible be heartburn, is/was heartburn. If I don’t have calcium carbonate I just have to grit and bear through it for up to an hour or more if it’s at night.

For me it turned out to be anxiety panic attacks. I started taking anti-anxiety medication and I haven’t had any in years.

Last year I had it happen to me, turns out it was displaced cartilage in my chest. No idea how it happened. Immediately after finding that out, I got a back injury at work (unrelated) and had to go to physio for it, which also coincidentally helped my chest pain too.

Have you checked for gastritis and digestive difficulties (food allergy, lactose or gluten intolerance, etc)?
The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 3 hours ago
I get them sometimes too. After googling it before, my best guess is precordial catch. Apparently good posture and staying hydrated can help prevent it.
Binette@lemmy.ml 2 hours ago
I have neither a good posture or good hydration, so that’s a great start lol.
But I read about it and it’s quite reasuring that it’s nothing serious. Thanks!

Do they go away if you breath in deeply? Does it hurt more when you breath in? Then it may be back related. There are nerves going from your back under the ribs to your chest.

Is this the pain that feels like a knitting needle getting rammed into your chest and only lasts for like 2 seconds but it’s two second you think “Shit! I’ve been stabbed” and everyone around looks at you because you’ve Just reacted like you’ve been stabbed.
Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Precordial catch. More common when you’re younger but hoo boy do they hurt like a motherfucker. Fortunately they’re harmless.

By Odins beard, thank you!
I’ve just been assuming someone’s trying to voodoo me and almost getting there.
This is a great relief.
