TL;DR: For the past three weeks, I’ve had recurring sharp chest pain, tingling and pain sensations in my arms, hands, and feet, fatigue, and a strange anxiety sensation in my chest. So far, blood work and EKG/ECG results are normal. Looking for ideas, shared experiences, or anything I might be missing. ____________________ Friends, This is a long shot, and I’ve been reluctant to post this, as it’s pretty personal, but I have three very young daughters, so I want to do everything I can to ensure I remain healthy. Pictures of my girls included to help motivate you! 😊 On April 17, I started experiencing sharp chest pain in my upper left chest, sharp pain in my left shoulder blade, and numbness and tingling in my left arm. The symptoms were far from debilitating, but worrying. I decided to sleep it off, but awoke with some of the same symptoms the following morning. Since the pain wasn’t severe, I would have gone to my family doctor, but it was Good Friday and the clinic was closed. Dr. Google scared me enough to head for the hospital. I was quickly triaged, had blood pressure taken, underwent an EKG/ECG(?), and had blood drawn. I then waited maybe 7 or 8 hours before I was called in to speak with a doctor about the results. The physician told me the EKG/ECG results appeared normal, as did the blood work (no signs of a heart attack). I was informed my blood pressure was slightly elevated and that I should follow up with my primary physician to consider steps to lower it. Needless to say, I was relieved that there appeared to be no major cardiac event. The following day, I went to the local outdoor rink to help take down the boards. Stupid, I know, but for some reason I thought it would be relatively easy work, and I thought some light activity might be helpful. However, it turns out those waterlogged boards get pretty heavy! I spent probably 2 hours moving boards and sweating, but felt fine. I've even tried doing a little exercise since (short ruck, pullups, pushups), and haven’t felt the chest pain come on because of it. I only add this detail to give context to some of the physical exertion I’ve undertaken during this mysterious healthy period (i.e., I didn’t keel over). In other words, the intermittent chest pain I continue to experience seems to strike randomly, not necessarily after physical exertion. Anyway, symptoms started to reemerge over the following week (mostly just sharp chest pain, which I continue to experience). However, I’ve also had some other strange symptoms, like pain and discomfort in my extremities (even in my fingers and toes). These can be very short-lived. Almost like my nerves are being lit up momentarily. I’ve also had intermittent pain behind my left eye and bouts of fatigue sweep over me from time to time. No idea if any of these symptoms are related. I’ve also had sensations of anxiety in my chest, sometimes coupled with a higher heart rate (i.e., up to 100 bpm for an hour or two, even while sitting). While I don’t have a great resting heart rate as is (around 70 bpm, which it has been for years), this has certainly felt unusual. Also, this feeling of anxiety in my chest isn’t accompanied by anxious thoughts. My mind isn’t worried, but physically it feels like I am. Last week, I met with my family doctor to discuss the trip to the hospital and the symptoms I’ve been experiencing. She referred me to have more blood work taken to look for other potential issues not assessed at the hospital. She also referred me for a heart stress test, which I’ll be undergoing on May 20 (healthcare can be slow in Canada, unfortunately). My family physician’s clinic called yesterday afternoon to tell me they got the blood work back. Nothing major jumped out, but they did say my vitamin D levels were low and cholesterol slightly elevated. My doctor was not overly concerned and said to proceed with the stress test before considering next steps. I realize this could be stress and anxiety-related, but I don’t know. I’ve been working a lot the last six months and have a busy home, so it’s certainly possible. Has anyone experienced symptoms like these (intermittent sharp chest pain, strange nerve sensations, fatigue, physical anxiety without mental worry)? Are there other causes I should consider or tests you’d suggest asking for? Appreciate any insights. Sorry for the length. Thank you!
