Chest pain ?

[p1stonhead]

Could it be this OP?

My missus has it - it is agony whenever it flares up. Took a few tries to get her diagnosed.

The Klinik in Germany was pretty thorough and my pain is normally only there when I've got stressed out so I dont believe mine is the same problem as your Wifes.
Sounds pretty unpleasant. Hope the condition goes away for her soon.

Thanks for the information though.

All clear.

Unexplained musculoskeletal pain.

Good, if true.
I first went to my GP with a chest pain and was given the same diagnosis. He took neither my BP nor pulse. Did yours?
I ask because within a few months I was diagnosed with arrhythmia.

Yes, took bp, pulse, asked quite a few questions. All ok on the face of it...

Sorry about your experience.

I had chest pain which stopped me in my tracks after walking for a few hundred yards, it would clear then I would walk miles. Eventually went to the docs and described my symtoms, he checked my pulse and blood pressure which were all okay but sent me to casualty as a precaution. I walked in feeling fine. They gave me an ecg which showed I had a suspected blockage in my LAD artery and blood test showed I had had a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and now have a stent fitted. If I had left it longer the LAD would have blocked completely and killed me for certain.

Rule No 1 if you have chest pain go straight to casualty, without an ECG I would not have been diagnosed and would have certainly had a more severe heart attack or sudden death. Sorry to be a scare monger.
