possible heart prob?

[CASS]

thanks for the that... but all docs have told me that my heart is fine and kept tellin me that its costochondritis.. and recently the cardiologist told me that its intercostal neauralgia..... i think its muskoskeletal pain but its been going on for months and for some reason i keep thinkin its the heart even tho 20+ plus docs have said its not... why can't i believe them? this is affecting me in a big way!

i suffer from time to time with sharpe pains in the left side and just below my left pec, sometimes i fall to the floor in near screaming pain to just complete freeze unable to move for 20 seconds or so. i have an occassional trapped nerve in my intercostal region.


on a different note, on one cycle of 1000mg test and 500 mg Primo per week in the last 2/3 weeks and for about 4/5 weeks after i'd get occassion palperations (that funny fluttering feeling).

they pressed on my ribs and breastbone and that caused pain so they said that its costochondritis (inflammation of rib cartilage) and was give anti inflammatory drugs for it which didnt really make much difference.. and just recently in jan when i saw the heart specialist he said that my symptoms are that of intercostal neuralgia, which is nerve pain in the ribs

thats what i get

well i know this sounds funny and i did not read the whole thread just your first few posts. let me tell you that i got similar pains. added to that i have an enlarged heart from all the sports i played. the doctor said if i had an enlarged heart before steroids which i did and i had good bp and cholesterol which i do. then its an "athletes heart". so needless to say i am a bit scared. i keep getting the pains and going in. it turns out a lot of the time man it is heart burn. i am not saying its for sure the same for you, but a few times it felt very serious and it was heart burn. you can also have muscle spasms that feel just like a heart attack. just trying to give you ideas of things it might be that are not so scary since they can't find anything on a test. try getting some zantac or pepcid and see if it helps. what does your diet look like.

I've had these before... Sharp pains, unable to breath deeply until it goes away. On my 1st cycle 500mg of test and 300mg of deca i woke up in the middle of the night from one. Hurt so fucking bad and had a sore chest for 3 days straight from it. I rarely get them anymore. Is your blood pressure okay?Heartburn or acid reflux? Its a possibility. I'm taking prilosec for acid reflux and dont have the pains anymore. Just a theory.. good luck

hi guys, i started aas for the firsttime last summer... was probably 4 weeks into cycle of dbol, nile sus and deca.. and i suddenly developed a pain in my chest.. was kinda sharp, rushed to ER, they did the usual, xrays, bloods, ECG.. they said heart is fine, anyway this pain continued to worsen, since lasy august i must hav been to ER 20 times, each time they have told me heart is fine, eve saw a cardiologist recently and had an echocardiogram done and also had treadmill test, both fine.. anyway even after all this i still cant get it out of my head that its not my heart, slightest pain and i worry that im goin to have a heart attack, have been off sock from work since august, wot you guys think?.. am i worryin for no reason? anyway is it true that if it was pain from the heart then it wouldnt have lasted this long? i have recently gone back to the gym again and am deciding to simple testoviron only cycle but so scared that i might damage my heart!!

Are you kidding me???? You have gone to how many doctors (SPECAILISTS) and they have all told you that you are fine and now you want to come on a sterroid board and ask mostly kids from young ages with a few of us older with absolutely no medical background whatsoever if you are fine???/ Where is the logic dude seriously?


No you are definately going to die at a very young age because your medical doctors have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Especially the heart doctor you went to You came to the right place we are all specialists in the health field because we inject shit into our muscles. There sounds like that is what you are waiting to hear since you keep asking everyone else and they keep giving you the same answer..

I had a bought with heart pain pack a few years ago. I was getting something like you describe, also fluttering and sometimes the palpitations banged my chest so hard, I thought I was about to die. I had every heart test possible... stress tests, EKG's, ECG's, etc... I also went on tons of different meds and none really helped except ativan. Guess my anxiety was making the symptoms worse than what they were. A year later, I was off all the meds and all symptoms were gone!

One thing I can tell you that might help your nerves (Doc's used to tell me this all the time)... if it was your heart, you wouldn't feel any sharp pains... it would feel more like a elephant standing on your chest!!

Good luck Bro, and I hope you get it diagnosed correctly soon!

I understand where you're coming from, thanks... i suppose so many docs can't all be wrong.. i suppose i'll just have to put up with it for as long as its gonna last.
