Since you have not mentioned ur age & according what you have
narrated in ur history there are only these factors requiring attention :
GERD (gastro eosophagal reguritation disease), avoid alcohol & smoking ,
take milk during night use lot of yogurt.
COSTOCHONDRITIS: This also gives similar to that of heart pain.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Start one hour of brisk walk.
HEAVY MEALS: Avoid heavy meals during the night, avoid meat & other caeffine containing drinks. TALK ON THE ABOVE DISEASES WITH YOUR CONSULTANT, DON'T FORGET STRESS/ANXIETY CAN BE HIDDEN CAUSE TOO.
:Hello no ar
This sounds as a whole set of problems that have been plaguing you for
some time. I don't know if I can help: Some of what I say may be
speculative because no one has as much information as ur physician.
Chest Pain; Your ECG is negative: One presumes that this is for ischemic
heart disease (angina or heart attack): I may also presume that ur heart
is of normal size: This is some times the case when the heart/lungs are working too hard, as in advanced lung disease or high resistance to blood flow, in the lungs.(i.e. pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism) CT: Mosaic attenuation patterns can elude to both chronic or acute disorders but not cancer: That is not to say you aren't at risk: I don't know. If you had one of the acute causes of an Abnormal CT (yes, it is abnormal), you would have become much sicker, by now (i.e. pneumonia) There fore one may conjecture that You have a chronic form of lung disease which would/could cause you pain from air swallowing or muscular fatiguealthou the list of causes of ''chest pain ''is extensive( CAN YOU REPRODUCE IT ?) If you do have a chronic form of lung disease (fibrosis, obstuctive (emphasema)or reactive (asthma) I would think that ur Doctor has you on some medical treatment ??? Fact of the matter is: shortness of breath & medicines can contribute to anxiety, as well. Best guess here: You have a chronic form of fibrosis or a mixed bag: They often occure together. Do you smoke? Have you had an industrial exposure or ''farmers lung''(agricultural) You may even have a potential disability claim. No ar: there are medications/treaments that can help you feel better & have a higher energy level but you have to trust ur Physician: If you can not, find another: You will ultimately have to trust one. Don't quit asking questions: There are no bad questions.!
