What Causes Sudden Chest Pain?

A few weeks ago I was hospitalized for SOB, chest pain radiating to my back. Completed a series of tests (stress test, EKG, EGD & colonoscopy) of which all came find. Last night I suddenly began having chest pain in the center of my chest along with breaking out in a sweat, nausea, leg weakness, headache and low grade fever. The chest pain is sharp and feels like something is lodged or blocking something. I called my primary care and he suggested the ER. Any thoughts on what could going on?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you had certain symptoms for which you were admitted and you have undergone all the test which turned out to be normal. There is a possibility of having all test normal when performed as there will be a time lag between the arising of the symptom and also the test measurements done.

Now to understand one more happening here is that post all the major cardiac tests including the treadmill there are possibility of arising the symptoms back as the treadmill testing is a strenous load for the heart and may feel such symptoms again.

This is very common I have seen in patients visiting to hospital and the complains are similar as well.

Following the proper cardiac physician guidelines in that duration has helped many patients at our hospital settings.
