Jaw pain from piercing. Is it ok?

Chest pain for 4 days, Heart attack?

  • On sunday morning I woke up with left shoulder and chest pain. (I do believe I laid on that side most of that night, and the bed is hard.). Well the pain was on and off during the day, then at one point I was in the car with my cousin and his friends. The pain was so sharp and painful I was holding my hand over my chest area. But kept it to myself cause I do have anxiety and no one knows, I just don't want to embarrass myself. Well when we go back to the house which was just my main goal, the pain started subside. Rest of the night it was fine. Next day I can't remember if the pain was present as much but it was there. Then Tuesday the pain started up, it starts up mostly when I am laying on my right side. Which seems weird to me. Now today Wed, the pain as been at its most worse. I told my aunt and mom this time and they said it could be my spleen. But let me just list my symptoms. Achy, not painful feeling in left arm, shoulder area. (Side I laid on) Sharp pain left side of chest, around the breast. Close to my underarm. Squirmy feeling under the breast, little more to the side. It felt like contractions would feel like, felt like my muscles were spasms. I know it sounds weird but like I had something inside me that was just moving around. (This discomfort was near my spleen area) No Jaw pain, no nausea, no lightheaded. No shortness of breathe only when I was feeling that weird squirmy feeling. Right now as I type this, this is what I feel. My left arm feel achy, my back is achy too. My chest feels a little sore aswell. But no real pain. Ok I just moved my arm up and stretch it, that triggered a sharp burning pain in the area I have been explaining. What could it be?? SORRY for such a long question. Ty folks. Btw I am 21, and a fatty lol. I take vitamins and eat fruit. I get my daily potassium.

  • Answer:

    Most likely to be musculo-skeletal pain as cardiac pain isn't influenced by posture / movement as you have described.

You wouldn't be having a heart attack for four days. You'd have been dead a long time ago if that were the case. It could, however, be just about anything else... from muscle tension due to anxiety, to a blood clot. If you're concerned about it, see your doctor. Don't rely on the internet to diagnose you.

It might be a pulled shoulder or back muscle.

First of all don't apologise for the length of the post - this is YOUR space! OK.I've read it all and I will tell you that you cannot physically have a heart attack that could last so long,nor could you have a series of heart attacks.If they were heart attacks you would no as the heart would be weakened immediately and doing very normal tasks without medical intervention would be almost impossible.So breathe a sigh of relief as you most likely have *not* had a heart attack. Given your age and no previous cardiac history,it's unlikely but not impossible that you could be having angina pain.Again this is unlikely and your pain will most probably be something muscular that with rest and undue stress will heal in time! It sounds as if you might have laid funny on your arm or perhaps strained some muscle on that side. With angina or heart attacks you have a much longer list of symptoms such as dizziness,vomiting,blackouts and these all happen suddenly - not over a day or more! I would say try not to worry about the pain,if it persists go to your GP who will most likely give you some mild painkillers/anti-inflammatory and send you home again. Take care of yourself X
