I've been having these chest pains...?!
Question: I've been having these chest pains!.!.!.!?
I've been having these chest pains (left side) for a long time, around three years now!. When it first started, it wasn't a problem at all, a slight inconvenience at most!. Since then, its become a major problem!. Any time I need to say, lift a box, or walk up stairs, I get this chest pain badly, much more painful than when it first started!.
Now, I have Pectus Carinatum, but its minor, almost un-noticable!. Doctor's assumed it was that, and kept telling me "Oh, there's no damage or severe deformation, it shouldn't hurt at all!." I assumed there was no problem, as that was the only answer I got over the three years, until about a month ago, when I was recommended to a much more understanding doctor!.
Recently, i've had an EKG, and an Echocardiogram, but they came out fine!. Four days ago I started getting pain in the left arm+slightly in shoulder, and more centralized chest pains, which is making me worried, since that's never happened before!. I've got this bad feeling its a heart problem, due to it being all around my heart for so long, but i'm unsure!. If anyone has any insight into this I would greatly appreciate it!!
Some extra info:
The pain i've had isn't like, a stabbing pain or something, its more like i'm getting squished by pressure!. The new pains in my arm+middle chest are the same kind!. It became progressively more painful + often over the three years!.
Also, i've been a smoker since shortly after this pain started!.

It sounds like your heart is not getting enough blood flow to it which limits the amount of oxygen you are getting to your heart!. That is why you get the pressure in the chest and out of breath when you do physical activity!. Until you find out what is going on for sure do not do a lot of hard physical exercise!. Nitro is often given to people like you because nitro relaxes those blood vessels to the heart which makes them bigger allowing more blood to the heart!. Do your self a favor go to a cardiologist!. They specialize in the heart!. A regular doctor may not know what to do with you!. Do not take chances with your heart!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did u have any SOB (Short Of Breath) !? If no means, maybe due to muscle pain!. Did u do any sports activity at the moment!? How about your blood pressure so far!? Any family history that got heart decease, HBP( High Blood Pressure) or diabetes!? What is your weight now!? If the pain still persist, go to see the cardiologist specialist in Sunway Medical Centre and do a medical check up!. Look for Dr!.Yoon Lai Lan!. She is a good doc!. She can try her best to solve your problem!. Dont wait is no joke!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hard to say what you have, my daughter has been in the hospital for 3 weeks now!. She felt pain in and around her heart, stabbing pains and she also said!. It felt like someone was squeezing the life out of it, after seeing a number of Doctors!. She has been told that her heart is stiffening, meaning at some point it will stiffen and give out!. She just turned 18, not something any 18 year old should have to go though!.
I don't want to lose her at 18, so go get checked out again!. Ask around if friends or family know of a good heart specialist, make phone calls and use the web!. And any time a Doctor can't put a name on it, them move on to find one that can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pibbs- Your heart exams all appear normal!. The culprit may well be the extent of your pectus carinatum - a mechanical problem which mainly affects you and your heart function at times!.
