No I haven't Vickster.
I am certainly no expert but feel certain its not cardio related.
As I said, its on and just below the surface and covered the whole chest area.
It has lasted 10 days but diminishing by the day.
I do thank you for your input......along with that of others.

It still something though even if not your heart

That's maybe how it feels to you, but it doesn't necessarily follow that that is where the problem is, could be referred pain.

I had the same thing with my first pulmonary embolism. I read somewhere at the time that the pain was probably caused by the clots which had broken free from my DVT being swept up through the heart before getting stuck on the other side.

I don't think this theory adds up.
Blood (and any clots) will go into the right atrium, then the right ventricle, then off to the lungs.
There will be no (under normal circumstances) chance of anything getting caught up in the coronary arteries.

If it still concerns me tomorrow I Will go to the pharmacist. They are very knowledgeable.

That's not what I was getting at - I was just commenting that I had sudden severe chest pains which were NOT due to a heart attack!

I cannot index gears and you want me to diagnose your chest pains? More fool you

 

[CXRAndy]

You're having a laugh Dave. Pain in arm or neck/shoulder can be heart related. Stop Pissing messing about, ring the out of hours doctor tonight.

Sorry for plain speak

What did the pharmacist say… ?

I mean I know us men can be dumb and stubborn but why wouldn't you just dial 111.

Don't mess around with your heart. Good luck Dave.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Dave why do you have a fear of the doctor? I really do not understand your reluctance to contact them.

Thinks he’s wasting their time…even though the medical profession and allied services ultimately exist to treat people with health issues
(I don’t get it either, especially after a couple of weeks and clear concern, otherwise why ask a bunch of strangers on t’internet?)
