Calling any Nurses/Medical Professionals - A topic distraction...Pls Respond...
Hi,
Okay, I have Fibromyalgia which from time to time gives me a case of costochondritis...WHAT IS THAT?...Okay, it's an inflammation of the chest wall that feels like pressure/heart attack - very painful and when you go to the ER, they ask what meds your on, you tell them they ask why and you say cause you have Fibro, they shake their heads, write you off as a headcase and send you on your way...Nonetheless, because it mimics heart attack - I usually go...I hate spending eight hours to be written off as a headcase, but in the off chance...you know....
Okay, now here is my dilemma...
Friday night, I had a pain in the upper left quadrant of my chest. It wasn't stabbing but it was a substantial ache. I did not feel dizzy or anything...that pain is gone, but now I have a pain in my thoracic spine/general back area and right below the sternum. I noticed some fullness in my front neck region around where the thyroid might be...in the hollow part right beneath where a man's adam's apple might be?
I don't feel short of breath, but I've read heart attacks in women can come on slowly, with subtle signs...I just don't feel like marching into the ER to be told to get my stomach some digel...LOL - I also have mild indigestion, but no burning.
The pain in my back was pretty intense last night but not sure...
Anyone?
