What Causes Chest Discomfort After Taking Workout Supplements?
may not be due to supplement
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most supplements and medications are not associated with soft tissue or chest discomfort but you would need to check out the specific ingredients of this supplement to see what are the side effects
All supplements and traditional meds would have different ingredients with different possible effects, the name or ingredients of the supplement that you used is not mentioned above
Commonly persons link chest discomfort and pain in the left arm with heart disease or a heart attack but this would not be likely at your age unless you have a very strong personal history of heart disease or your family has a very strong family of heart disease or you have a lot of risk factors ( smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight/obese)
Outside of the above then the pain in the arm may be due to injury to the soft tissues in that area (muscles, tendons, ligaments etc). This may be a strain, spasm, etc
Chest pain can be due to any structure in the chest-(1) skin (eg neuralgia), (2)muscles (muscle strain or injury),
(3)bones (injury or inflammation eg costochondritis),
(4) esophagus (reflux or spasm
(5) lungs,
(6)heart.
(7)It can also be due to anxiety, this is considered if it is not related to any of the above.
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions
angina- chest pain with activity, decreases with rest
Detailed Answer:
HI
Angina occurs when there is decreased blood supply to certain aspects of the heart.
At times of activity, the heart needs more blood. This is the reason that persons with angina would notice that they get chest pain with activity that then decreases with rest.
Angina also does not occur in isolation. There is usually a history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoker. A risk factor that would cause the blockage or decreased blood flow.
If there is no history of any of these, no history of heart disease, no previous history of angina -- then it is unlikely but you can see your doctor for an assessment
very rare and unlikely
Detailed Answer:
HI
Agreed, don't ask google re medical symptoms.
Cancer is the least common cause for most symptoms.
Chest discomfort , as mentioned can be due to any structure in the chest cavity from the skin inwards.
Cancer of the heart is not common, lung cancer can occur but more commonly in older persons with a long history of smoking, esophageal cancer is also not common, cancer of the muscles, bones of the chest- this is very uncommon
Your doctor can assess you at your appointment tomorrow
If anything else unclear, can let me know
heart failure is a gradual process
Detailed Answer:
The heart does not fail suddenly unless a person is acutely injured. There would be previous symptoms of heart failure- shortness of breath, palpitations, history of fluid retention and the risk factors mentioned before
Your appointment tomorrow should help to ease your mind
