Heartburn Back Pain
I have been having chest pain, shortness of breath, lump in my throat feeling, back pain, heartburn ?
I have had for about 3 weeks chest pain (Fullness/Pressure) back pain between my shoulder blades, shortness of breath with exersion and laying down, palpatations, lump in my throat feeling and also feeling like I have to burp but cannot -almost like heartburn. My EKG was normal, blood pressure normal, I have history of heart disease on both sides of family, mom had heart attack 3 yrs ago, so I am worried. They are sending me for a stress test and echo of my heart Monday, just wondered if my blood pressure is good and ekg is good can you still have heart issues? Dr. thinks it could be gastro related - reflux ? But how does that explain shortness of breath, and back pain? Help....
If I were you, I'd call the Dr's answering service and have the Dr. call you back. Chest pain with back pain and shortness of breath could be related to the heart. Sometimes with back pain it could be signs of an aortic aneurism and if I'm correct an EKG can be normal. Since you are having S.O.B. (shortness of breath) with chest pain and back pain I'd call the Dr. and have him/her listen to what you've been having and see if he/she can then tell you what to do next. Anyone's blood pressure can be normal before they have a heart attack. I've seen patients with normal everything and then bam they go into cardiac arrest and then there are those who have increased B.P. and other tests that can show something they may not be having any symptoms of a heart attack.
By the way since this Dr. is sending you in for an echocardiogram and stress test (to see how well the heart is while you are exercising) I'm wondering if the dr. suspected possible heart problems. If the dr. thinks it's gastro related why is he/she sending you in for tests for your heart? The stress test and echo are tests for the heart. Now it's possible that you could have indigestion with or without heart trouble but first things first. Rule out heart problems. If you feel worse now since you saw the dr. then I'd call the Dr. and tell him/her that you are going to the E.R. as you feel so much worse and that would most likely shorten your wait time since the Dr. can call in orders at the E.R. for you. I did call for my husband and by the time I got him there they took him right back which was great. Oh back pain can be a symptom of heart disorders too. Everything you listed except for the lump in your throat feeling could be related to the heart although I'm glad to see that the Dr. is sending you in for test. I'm sure that the stress test and echo can tell the Dr. if the back pain and S.O.B. is related to the heart but if you can't wait go in now and they will still do the test but will also make sure that you are not in any danger. Sometimes worrying causes stress and stress then causes health problems. If you are stressing over something then that could possibly lead to problems and it's better to be safe by getting checked now then trying to wait till Monday and either not making it or getting admitted and then discharged before Monday. Good luck and please get help if you feel that you have gotten worse. Since you saw a dr. and you've had 3 weeks of chest pain plus other symptoms especially shortness of breath I'd go in.
Now let's say your heart is O.K. If it's indigestion then over the counter meds like Tums or Rolaids may help. If they don't help then I wouldn't waste any time. A lot of Paramedics now have 12 lead EKG's and can tell if you have a possibility of heart issues. You can also go into any fire station and have them check you out or you can go in on your own to the hospital. You don't mention your age but I've heard of teens in sports can have a heart attack. Some people can have heart disease in their 30's. I really hope that you're O.K. and not just worrying to much. If I was worrying that much I think I'd get on the phone with the Dr's answering service. If you dont' hear back within 30 minutes then call again. If no response and you feel worse then you make the call as to go to the E.R. or urgent care center. My husband went to an urgent care center because he thought he was having heart issues and everything came back O.K.
Oh one other major thing, Sometimes people can have symptoms of what feels like heart problems and it turns out to be a sick gall bladder. After my husband thought he was having a heart attack the E.R. pumped him up with nitroglycerine and other heart meds even though the EKG was normal. He was put on the CCU floor and discharged after the stress test came back good. A few months later his gallbladder was found to be sick and he had to have it out. After he was home for a few days from surgery he was readmitted from the E.R. after I called the dr. who called in orders. He had a leakage and the Dr. had to go back in to repair it. The gallbladder is located on the upper right of the belly.
