I Have Heart And Back Pain. All Of My Reports Are Perfectly Alright

4 ekgs blood work 2 chest xrays all normal what could be causing these chest pains I am a 33 yr. old female, smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day, and over weight. I have been having chest pains on and off for the last 4 months. Have been to the ER 3 times EKG s blood work, chest xrays all came back normal. But, stilll getting these chest pains on my left side. The pain feels heavy, with some tingle going down my arm and fingers. At times I even have back pains. What could this pain be? Do you think it s heart related even though my test all came back normal?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
In most of cases this test suffice and in majority this rules out cardiac problem.This probably due some nerve root irritation or your faulty working or sleeping pattern.As you are a somker and over weight too the more reason could be acid in your stomach which cause heart burn and sometimes even symptoms like cardiac pain.So first of all quit smoking,reduce weight and start routine exercise.You can apply any local analgesics for pain.

Good,keep it up.Pat on your back for the good thing that you have done.This symptoms could be due to withdrawal of nicotine.So keep your morale high,eat frequent small meals as per earlier advise.Try to sleep adequately.When ever you have urge to smoke change the place where you are seating and start doing some other activity,you can always take antacids for the problem that you have.buy keep it up.do not get dishearten this will go away in no time.
