comfortzone Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just curious how many of you get symptoms within the chest region d/t your dysautonomia grouping of issues.... I do get that full rush or gush of blood I guess type of symptom - and lately I get sub-sternal chest pain... but with EDS I know we can get random chest pains as well. I don't want to concern you - I am getting a stress test just in case something is truly of a heart nature or cardiac symptom -- but in general don't we just get chest pain sometimes as a patient population? I had my first episode about a month ago while at work - lasting a full ten minutes and I thought a few seconds of jaw pain that went away. Then I had it daily for a couple weeks - and then it went away - yesterday it came back again ... it would be a tad easier to handle if I were young again - but alas I am not young again - but middle aged with cardiac risk factors of HTN, unstable b/p, overweight, mild sleep apnea, borderline DM etc... My doctor wants the stress test done - but forgot to give me the rx for it so I have to call tomorrow to get it ... I am 99.9% sure this is either hypermobility or some kind of 'healthy' chest pain... Any thoughts? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerAmy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I am 40 and get chest pains when my other POTS symptoms flare up. I know that my chest pains are POTS related, but they are distressing nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernmass Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Chest pain is one of my worst symptoms. It is often a pressure feeling- like I'm in a vice. Sometimes it is stabbing or almost electrical type pain- this is the worst and very scary. I also get the adrenaline-rush type of feeling I think you mentioned. The pain is always and only on the left side. It usually comes and goes all day- definitely worse when my other symptoms are worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMPotsie Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I get severe, stabbing left-side chest pains, and feel like I can't breathe. I will double over from these suckers. My heart is "perfect", according to my Mayo cardiologist; Dr. Goodman says it's typical for POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
