This has become and almost regular occurrance with the chest pain probably every two weeks and the flushing burning at least once a week. I am almost always tired, and emotionally drained, I sweat at the drop of a hat, and as the day progresses each day, my pulse escalates as well. By the end of the day, I am so aware of my heartbeat that it feels like a drum in my chest. When I start the day, the symptoms are usually less and tolerable, but as the day progresses, they worsen, and by night time, well let's just say I give up and go to bed. This has almost killed my ability to do anything. I never know when it is going to hit and debilitate me, and to be honest, it scares the c**p out of me. My doctor seems stumped. We have had test on my liver and galbladder all good, upper GI series, and abdomonal CT's all good. Chest x-ray shows no sign of cancer, and my cardiologist (as of a year ago) after the stress test said heart was good. Any help here would be appreciated.

I too was diagnosed with GERD and I take Nexium. I've had an Ecocardiogram, stress test and halter three months ago and they found nothing wrong. I had a chest xray about 5 months ago, and that was clean. Also had an ultrasound on liver/kidneys/gallbladder and all looked fine.
Does anyone know what this is???? Please help!

Hey, I'm having the same symptoms for like 6 months to this day. My left side of face is swollen, with swollen lymph on the left side of neck, neck pain and stiffness that goes all the way to the back of the neck, some minor pains under the left rib cage, abnormally slow bowel movements ( once in 2-5 days) and all of that after I got a pair of skin cysts on the left cheeck and after three cylces of three different antibiotics. My Dr's and my own guess is that it could be related to a sudden expossure to cats, namely a couple of cats brought into the house after being born and grown in the wild. Right now I'm undergoing tests for Toxoplasmosis and giardiasis. I should note that last week during an HIDA test of the galbladder I felt the sporadic pain in the same places of abdomen and chest as they were injecting me with some sort of liquid to enhance imaging, bit when they injected the CCK liquid, I felt it very strongly in my left under ribcage which could be atributed to inflamation on the spleen, and then the pain disseminated to the left side of chest, left shoulder and left side of neck.
I don't know if this can help anyone but at least I'm trying as much as you to find out what's the cause and how to treat it. My guess was that it had to do with the cats since I do NEVER fet sick, not even flu, and then in a period of 15- 20 days after the cats came into the hme, I got those symptoms ( back in Jan 03 2011) then in April 10-15 I presented the soar throat, neck pain and the formerly explained symptoms. I took Ciproflaxin for like a week, then 2 weeks later it all returned, so I took Clindamycin for 7 days, and yet the symptoms returned a couple of weeks later. So in my opinnion, which almost always is correct since I learne everything about the subject before guessing, it should be the Giardiasis first back in Dec 2010, symptoms appeared in Jan 2011 then Toxoplasmosis in April due to a pair of new cats arriving at the house. I will update as soon as I know for certain, hope it helps.

side of my face. Ultimately, it appears to have been caused by sinus
infection flair-ups. As far as I've been able to figure, the inflamed
sinuses put pressure on the trigeminal nerve causing the facial pain, and
the lymph node inflammation pressing on the nerves in the neck (vagus
nerve?) caused the neck and upper chest/shoulder pain.
The easiest solution I found was to monitor for early signs of infection,
then start peppering my food with tons of garlic (onion should work too)
if anything was out of the ordinary. Garlic and onions contain an
antibiotic called Allicin, and supposedly the mycoplasma bacteria that
cause the secondary respiratory infections (evidenced by yellow/green
mucus) can't develop an immunity to it for some reason.
Regardless of the cause, I'd still be prone to think that anyone who has
this sort of problem has a neurological issue. If not infection-related,
then possibly a herniated/bulging disk or something
