Chest tightness

[[la...]]

Hi Everyone. I'm over 8 months BF. I can't say I have distinct windows and waves. It's all pretty consistently yucky. I do have slightly better days where I can at least limp through life and they I get slammed again. I am past praying, no one is up there, I'm sure now. Anyway, the last setback along with the usual symptoms, I have crushing chest tightness. It comes and goes on and off constantly. it is worse when I stand but its there whatever I do. If I dont rest then it results in that organic, cant breathe yourself out of it panic/anxiety and I shake for hours. I have had my heart checked out since PVCs were my main symptom, so no structural problems there aside from mild MVP. So I am wondering if anyone has experienced this chest symptom. No pain usually, just a feeling as if something is sitting on my chest. If you can relate and want to share your experience with me, it would help a lot. I know its all symptoms of BW but some symptoms are just more frightening than others. Thank you

Hi ladybug1,

 

Chest pain/chest pressure/palpitations has been one of my symptoms. I been urgent care, ER and doctors many times for this. Got tests done and all normal. I get this when I am in a panic attacks and sometimes when I don't sleep well/or not enough and especially when I am stress. But it can come on anytime during the day, I notice it comes on throughout the day/ I can't do anything to stop it just have to let time pass. Mine does get better within hours sometimes minutes. I remember one time it lasted a day and I went to ER to make sure. So yes, it wd and I have it. Hope you feel better.

Thank you Tracy for replying. It does help to know it's wd. As bad as it is I can take all except the chest heart sxs. I guess everyone has their pet sx... Cheers Hope yours gets better soon.

I've had some bad chest & lung pains throughout this along with palpitations. Right now I seem to be in a period where it's worse.

Have bad chest pain today.  Been having more problems with eating-getting full fast, food hanging up,reflux, bloating,pain, etc.  Wonder if chest pain has anything to do with GI problems or maybe the vagus nerve is acting up and causing the chest pain,  because of all the stress and GI issues.  Been checked out for heart issues but, got the all clear thankfully.

Yes, me. It was one of my worst symptoms. In fact, the crushing chest pressure (well like I had on a lead vest or tight band around my rib cage, and I couldn't breathe) was THE primary reason I (stupidly in my mind) reinstated. Once I got used to the PVC's and fast heart rate and made piece with it, the chest tightness came on FULL FORCE and made me dizzy/see stars and welp, that was the end of my being totally off. (now, if you read my signature, you'll see that I tapered so fast, it could be akin to cold turkey...which could explain some of my awful symptoms. Note - all my worst symptoms did not appear AT ALL during my 2-3 month taper. In fact, they all showed up in FULL FORCE 3 weeks after I jumped. I actually thought I might even be in the clear the first 2 weeks. WRONG.
