I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?

it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
anxiety or stress issue

I'm a bit worried about this chest pain I've been having for the past 9.5 months. I've seen a bunch of cardiologists and done a ton of tests like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, lipid profile, and thyroid, but everything's coming back normal. My daily routine includes brisk walking for about 50 minutes and running for 15 minutes, and I don't feel any pain during these activities. The pain occasionally hits on either the left or right side and is pretty mild. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this chest pain?
Chronic chest pain lasting several months with normal cardiac tests such as ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT, along with normal lipid profile and thyroid tests, suggests that the pain might not be heart-related. Since you can perform activities like brisk walking and running without pain, its less likely to be ischemic heart disease. Possible causes of your chest pain could include musculoskeletal issues (like costochondritis or muscle strain), gastrointestinal problems (such as GERD or gastritis), or anxiety-related symptoms. Given the persistence of your symptoms, it might be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist or consider a musculoskeletal evaluation. Additionally, managing stress and anxiety with practices like mindfulness or therapy can also help. Please follow up with your healthcare provider to explore these potential causes further.

I'm noticing that my heart starts racing whenever I eat, drink water, or even when I pass urine. It almost feels like I'm anxious all the time. I also have issues with gas and cervical spondylitis. Could these conditions be related to my increased heart rate?
It is possible that your gas problem and cervical spondylitis may be contributing to your increased heart rate. Gas problems can sometimes lead to bloating and discomfort, which can stimulate the vagus nerve and result in changes in heart rate. Additionally, cervical spondylitis, which affects the neck and spine, can sometimes cause compression of nerves that regulate heart rate, potentially leading to an increase in heart rate. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking medications like Pantoprazole for gas problems and Gabapentin for cervical spondylitis. Additionally, you can consider using medications like Propranolol to help control your heart rate during episodes of increased anxiety or discomfort. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
