weird chest sensations after exertion
(19) (F)
i have had pots for years and was unaware but since my pots worsened in march-ish of this year i’ve had one debilitating system that no specialist can give me a straight answer for!!
any kind of exercise, (even just walking a little too much or laughing too much) makes me have weird chest pain, intermittent left shoulder pain and arm sensations for days afterwards
for a few days it feels like i’ve been hyperventilating, like how your chest feels after a big cry.
it DOESNT feel like a post exercise chest ache. it feels very weird
it also triggers extreme air hunger and sometimes chest pressure,
it’s been flaring on and off since march, after exertion.
it also sometimes triggers sternum pain? like what feels like my ribs are aching or the cartilage is inflamed.
i’ve had echos, multiple ecgs, 24hr halter monitor, troponin studies, h pylori testing, x-rays, ct scan chest and abdominal. ALL CLEAR.
i’ve tried prescribed asthma medications, otc anti reflux meds, nsaids ect ect. i get minimal relief
asthma? gerd? am i just unfit? related to my me/cfs? fibromyalgia?? possible mcas???
please help im going absolutely insane.
is there any other testing i should pursue ?
