Question 1

aside from heart and lung problems, what else can cause chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal stricture, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, and multiple other things.

Question 2

tietze syn show up on sed rate? mine was extremely low, full heart and lung workup for 3mon of chest pain, docs think it's muscular. i play coll bball

Accepted Answer

Physical exam: Tietze is probably a real entity but nobody knows exactly what and since it is no danger, and there is no clear case definition, it is moot. Syed rate is famously not sensitive of specific for most stuff. For the chest pain work up, history and physical are key with EKG and enzymes next; sed rate just confuses regardless of results. Glad you exercise; make it lifelong.

Question 3

2 trips to er no answers. left side pain: lower back of head, neck, shoulder, chest x3wks. chest xray fine. heart and lung levels good. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal: Likely a musculoskeletal  cause could be a iniched nerve from a herniated disk in the neck. This will not show on x-rays.

Question 4

have gerd. recent heart and lung work up normal. 31 yo female. today waves of pressure in chest n throat. sometimes gurgles with it. now hiccups.gerd?

Accepted Answer

Gerds vs gallbladder: Could be Gerds or gallbladder. Seek a gastroenterologist or general surgeon. Work up needed with abdominal ultrasound and egd to start. Basic labs won't hurt either.

Question 5

my chest and upper throat is tight i had a blood clot but now gone but i still have trouble breathing. my doctor says my heart and lung are healthy?

Accepted Answer

Asthma vs globus: The description of the blood clot throws things off a bit, but a tight sensation in that area with healthy heart and lungs in a young person typically is called a globus sensation and is the result of a spasming sphincter muscle at top of the esophagus. Reflux and/or anxiety is the typical cause. Raising the back of your bed so that your chest is elevated slightly higher than your stomach helps.

31 m got a echo / nucl stress test / ekg / holter chest ctscan / bronchoscopy / endo / vq / thyroid test cbc / panel blood  rule out heart and lung ? .still having vibrating  heart beats / throat lump feeling chest fullness shallow breath / headaches

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: if all the work out are within normal then most likely it anxiety , and if you start med you will feel better 
good luck

Accepted Answer

No: Most of the people we transplant require some assistance with their very expensive post-transplant medications and surveillance.
