Thread: Sharp Pain..

Heart attack??

Well -- I'm living and it happens once in a while. But like I said, the right side -- Not left. What the hell is up in the right side of the chest? Any arteries or organs or anything?

Does it hurt to take a deep breath? Could be just muscular.

Do you take effedrine???

Your lungs!

Do you smoke and or are you around people who do? I would suggest seeking medical advice from your doctor. Request an X-Ray.

You're not having a heart attack as one of the posters replied earlier. If you're having a heart attack, the pain would be severe starting in the middle of your chest, creaping to the left followed by a sharp pain near your shoulder blade and sharp tingle/numb sensations going up and down your left arm.

right side is almost always associated with the heart, its a misconception that pain in the right side of the chest have nothing to do with heart. In fact, i've spoken to a cardiologist in one of the biggest hospitals in Atlanta, and he told me tha the right side of the chest is as paramount to heart problem symptoms as is left !!!!

plouffe, next time that happens try hitting yourself in the chest like 2 or 3 times kind of hard... I get that randomly too... not often... but i think it's just muscular....

First of all do mind answering a few questions:

1. What seems to be the trigger ie: at rest, after a workout etc.

a) Do you return to your workout without any problems or fatigue after this spell?


2. How long does it last:? few seconds, few minutes, few hours.

3. Is it sharp, or cramping like or pressure like?

4. Does it shoot up your neck, into the back between shoulder blades or down the arms?

5. Any shortness of breath with these episodes?

6. Any family history of early, sudden cardiac death? (Uncles who had heart attack at 35, father, mother, siblings with early heart problems or died suddenly or had unexplained fainting spells. )

7. As someone already asked, any pain with deep inspiration?

8. Are you taking nolvadex or arimidex right now?

9. Any sensation of fast, beating heart rate or palpitations with these episodes?

Not really

A tiny bit.

I've stopped taking caffeine, and ephedrine. And I'm going to start taking asprin daily. Until the symptoms go away. There not that harsh.

Good. Kinda scary sometimes ya know?

Take baby aspirin (81mg) or cut up your current aspirin into 4s, thats all you need for blood thinning.

Alright thanks man. Like I'm chilling in school right now and I can feel slight pressure? I donno.
