Morning,
I have a question regarding my heart. I think this may be either heart burn or anxiety but dont want to book an appointment at the doctors because I dont want to waste their time if it is only one of the above.
Basically a few months ago, I had to run to catch my train home and I experienced chest pain, couldnt breath, had an aching cold pain in my bottom teeth, pains in my back etc so I called NHS direct when I got home as i was wheezing even after a 2 hour journey home and they sent me to the hospital to get checked over, I was in there for approximately 70 secs and the doctor sent me away and said im not having a heart attack.
I booked an appointment the next day to see a doctor and he checked my chest and said I had a cold coming on and he could only put it down to a panic attack unless he made me go and do a run. This happens quite frequently when I have to sprint which I advised the doctor.
Since this happened, I keep getting twinges in my heart, quick sharp pains, I googled it and found that it may be down to anxiety, but I get it when I walk round the house and often when i run up the stairs.
Last night I went to the gym and im quite concerned now as I was fast jogging on the running machine and started to experience this pain in my heart after about 15 minutes, it was quite mild but I continued to run for an extra 5 minutes and the pain got quite painful but only happend when I breath in, it was as if my lungs were pushing against my heart when I inhaled. I obviosuly stopped running and when my heart rate got back to normal, the pain went away.
Does this sound like heart burn, anxiety or acid reflux or should I go get checked out to be on the safe side?
Please advise
Regards
Aimee
