What Causes Chest Pain, Breathless In Cold Water When Having Long QT?
Hi I was diagnosed with long QT about 4 years ago, this year I had a serious viral infection that kept me out of work for about 6 months!! The trouble is I'm still getting chest pains. At the moment they're coming on every few minutes sometimes sharp but most of the time a dull ache, before the pains come it feels as if I've jumped in cold water my breath goes (only slightly though) then I know I'm going to feel discomfort!! I'm 42yr old male.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having persistent chest pain then you need to be reassessed to determine the cause.
Chest pain can be due to any structure in the chest from the skin inwards. It can be from the skin (eg shingles), the muscles, bones, lungs, heart ,esophagus.
The original site would be determined based on your symptoms and examination findings
I hope this helps
