Question: Strange symptoms - me (56 yr old woman) Heart Issues!? Does anyone have any knowledge!?
Yesterday afternoon at the same moment my daughter told me some not too good news (we were in a shopping center and her 4 yr old son had just had a chest x ray that turned out to be not very good) I started getting pain in the middle of my chest I thought hmm its because I have just driven 3hrs to get to the radiologist and I am stressed and having muscle spasm so I bought a bottle of water and took some strong pain killers which helped!. When we drove back home (another 3 hrs I took more pain killers and went to bed not perturbed because I thought it was tension from my neck which I did have tension in!. In the middle of the night I was aware briefly of some pain in my left arm and actually thought and dismissed heart problem!? Waking up this morning still had the pain took more pain killers but now I have indigestion which although I take medication for (prescription) every morning I was suprised when it didn't work so took another 20mg and then later an over the counter med for indigestion!. Now pain is pretty much gone but I am having a strange sensation happening in both my jaws just below ears!. I am thinking what the hell is going on if anything is this just full on stress reaction!? I could make an appointment to see an after hrs doctor tonight but don't want to obviously be taken for a hypochondriac so I am wondering if anyone can give me their ideas I realize no one is a doctor but if this series of events had happened over the past 24hrs or so to someone else out there what would they be thinking!? Because I figured heart attack pain is sudden but doesn't last as long as the pain I had I am reluctant also to go to the doctor!. Any ideas welcomed!. PS I am 56 yrs old on meds for hypertension annoying irregular heart beat and cholesterol lowering meds which do the job!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Number one, you should not take any pain killers if something like this happens!. The most you should take is asprin which will help thin your blood in case it is a heart problem!. You should call 911 or get to the ER and let them check you out especially since you have hypertension!. Also with you having pain in your jaws and sick to your stomach you should not play around with that at all!.
What are you waiting for!? This could save your life!. If nothing else it would ease your fear if it isn't a heart problem but I wouldn't play around!. Get help now!!!

Did you experience any shortness of breath or nausea !? Do you have a family history of cardiac disease !? It might very well be an angina attack due to stress, but I'd recommend that you contacted a doctor to do an ECG!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Chest pain with numbness in the arm could be alot of things!. Migraines can cause those symptoms!. Anxiety (panic attacks) can feel like heart attacks!. An irregular heart beat as well!. Make sure you tell your doctor on your next visit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It almost sounds like a Stroke coming on, except i am
not certain whether your displaying any of the other symptoms

Your best bet is to take yourself to an Emergency centre
in a hospital to be checked out , or at least make sure you are
with someone overnight , to keep an eye on you!.
If you do have a stroke , you would be incapable to ring for help
and so on , not even to think straight, to go for help next door!.
So, don't want to alarm you, but i hope you got help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
