A member asked:
36 m with epigastric tightness for two years. sporadic local chest pain that lasts for a second. all cardiac tests fine in jan 2015. what can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: In all likelihood, chest pain that ocurs for a short time and resolves spontaeously in the setting of normal tests is often muscle spasm. It's reassuring that it's been happening for years without a negative outcome. Consider seeing your doctor again if the symptoms persist for another EKG and to consider further investigation.
