chest pressure and tightness

Hello,

I have also been experiencing uncomfortable pressure and tightness in my chest and heart area for the past few months. It is with me all of the time and it never goes away. Can anybody tell me what to do about it? Is there any medicine to treat it?

Could be anxiety related or a sign that your cardiovascular system may need some attention. it is best to get checked out by your gp first, to rule out any seriousness. then, concentrate on your diet and correct nuritional supplementation to keep problems at bay, and even reverse them.

Just wondering if you've gotten treated for this? I have the same problem, pressure and tightness in my chest. I've recently seen a Cardiologist, but I don't know that it's a problem with my heart.

I have also had this same thing going on for a while. I have had it before. EKG's and blood tests are apparently normal but I have no idea what is causing it. I do have lots of stress, but this still seems abnormal for that.

I have had this for about three years now and no one can figure it out. I think my DR. thinks I am crazy, but it is real. I used to run about three miles a day, now due to the pressure I am concerned to even try. A couple times that I have, I had to lay down and it took almost all day to recover. My DR has given me EKG's, tread mill tests, enzyme test and radiology test, but they see nothing. Has anyone out there figured this out. I don't only feel this when I am stressed out, it is all the time.

I have this same issue, I have had heart problems since birth. I am (cough) 33 now, and have had pressure on my chest in the area of my heart for roughly 3 yrs. I have told my doctor about this. They have done several test but say it's nothing. It is worrying to me. I have been told it's heart burn, pulled muscle, stress, etc by several doctors but I don't believe this to be true.

This problem doesn't persist all the time, there maybe a day or two a week where either I don't notice it due to having it so long or it's just not there. It seems to get worse when I sit for some reason. When I am active or lying down I rarely notice the pain. I have little or no stress, have a good diet, and am average to below average in weight for my height group.

I've been having problems with chest pressure for the last few months as well. I was worried that it had something to do with my heart because at times I also had a rapid heartbeat and it felt like it was beating harder than it should. I recently had an EKG, Stress Test, and bloodwork done, and the doctor said everything looked great.

It tends to bother me more when I'm laying down. It also bothers me a bit more when I eat and it feels like the food is having trouble going down. I really don't know how to explain it...anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem, the thing is stress or lack of electrolytes in the body, You can be stress from anything and in the back of your mind it triggers the pain all over again. You can take meds for the pain to relax your mind. You might have ADHD. You just have to stop thinking about the worries of the world and have fun. But always check with the doctor to make sure and never diagnose yourself.
