ooo, now i know the name for that pain i get in my chest cartilage ever since that car accident
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I cracked some of the cartilage of my ribs a while back as well and I’m pretty sure now suffer from bouts of recurring costochondritis, myself. Could be that. Mine is really fun, pain right over my heart and sometimes left arm pain. On top of that, I’ve always had health related anxiety, so it’s “Don’t Have a Panic Attack!” on hard mode. Or I’m slowly dying of heart failure, who knows.
redwattlebird@lemmings.world 15 hours ago
Oh my god. The feeling has a name. Thank you. I had always thought it was a heart problem or a rib that popped.

Holyy, thanks for this. I can finally put a name to it. Was wondering with my partner for ages what sometimes suddenly befalls us, especially if we’re lying in a weird position.

Now I know what to call this! Then ignore it once it goes away.
Binette@lemmy.ml 22 hours ago
Seriously though, what are these? I’ve had them for years and I’ve tried to ask my doctor about it, but I had too many issues to deal with or they didn’ believe me idk
SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Idk but I’ve went in and everything checked out OK. Had a day where I had what I thought was a heart attack. Vision was going, heart was hurting, couldn’t breathe. I thought, “ah shit. Here I go.” and then it went away. Went in and it was not a heart attack. The answer was a shrug and nothing is abnormal.
So like… If it is a serious concern, it didn’t feel like it was treated as one and nothing was found.
plateee@piefed.social 21 hours ago
Do you have issues with anxiety/panic attacks? Fun fact, panic attacks can manifest physically with nearly identical symptoms to a heart attack!
(This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get things checked out though)
Greddan@feddit.org 21 hours ago
Seriously.
Me: I have these medical issues I would like to have checked out. Maybe a blood test would be in order?
Doctor: How many units of alcohol do you consume per sitting, per month, please be specific.
Me: Uh…
Doctor: At what exact time do you poop every day?!?
AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 17 hours ago
Obviously you should talk to your doctor about it, but as someone who’s been dealing with different health issues/symptoms, it could be many things. The ones that aren’t directly likened to heart issues, off the top of my head: various stomach issues (gastritis, GERD/acid reflux, h. pylori infection), vagus nerve issues (sometimes caused by stomach problems) that trigger anxiety and panic attacks, costochondritis, even things like mental trauma response can cause wild physical symptoms.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
h. pylori infection
stomach ulcers, in common

Dehydration does that to me. Like sometimes I just forget to drink for an entire day. Then I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like total shit. Pain all over my body, chest included.
AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Anxiety, gerd or heartburn in general (it’s literally called heartburn, this is more common than you’d think), and like a million other things.
I would get it with anxiety all the time before I was medicated, my doctor told me after my 3rd EKG that the pain from a heart attack really happens when you work it HARD. That might not be much for some people, but the Doc asked me if this happens often after physical activity at all.
My answer was no, and I hike, walk, go up stairs, do all that stuff and have no issue or pain with my heart. YMMV, and as I age I still take heart stuff seriously, but that reduced my anxiety around it significantly.
Fallofturkey@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
It was heartburn for me. As soon as I take calcium carbonate it goes away. Absolutely horrible pain which I didn’t think could possible be heartburn, is/was heartburn. If I don’t have calcium carbonate I just have to grit and bear through it for up to an hour or more if it’s at night.
ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
For me it turned out to be anxiety panic attacks. I started taking anti-anxiety medication and I haven’t had any in years.
The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 21 hours ago
I get them sometimes too. After googling it before, my best guess is precordial catch. Apparently good posture and staying hydrated can help prevent it.
Binette@lemmy.ml 21 hours ago
I have neither a good posture or good hydration, so that’s a great start lol.
But I read about it and it’s quite reasuring that it’s nothing serious. Thanks!
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 20 hours ago
Last year I had it happen to me, turns out it was displaced cartilage in my chest. No idea how it happened. Immediately after finding that out, I got a back injury at work (unrelated) and had to go to physio for it, which also coincidentally helped my chest pain too.
truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 21 hours ago
Do they go away if you breath in deeply? Does it hurt more when you breath in? Then it may be back related. There are nerves going from your back under the ribs to your chest.

Have you checked for gastritis and digestive difficulties (food allergy, lactose or gluten intolerance, etc)?
OldGrayDog@lemmynsfw.com 15 hours ago
Had a heart attack 2 1\2 months ago, didn’t know I was having one, thought it was indigestion, after a day and a half it was only getting worse, drove myself to the hospital, they gave me an EKG and said I was having a heart attack. They had to send me to different hospital for a stent, 30% of the bottom left side of my heart is now dead. 20% EF. Had a complete blockage in my lad. If I had gone in when the symptoms 1st started my heart wouldn’t be all screwed up. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I’m only 58.

Wow that’s kind of scary how little we may notice something so dangerous.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
nice job surviving tho that’s a rough experience
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
This has been happening to me since i was a kid.
I thought I was having little heart attacks or something, but i couldn’t find anything online about it and was dismissed by doctors.
Is this not normal?
Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
You’re still alive, so hopefully I’ll be ok!?
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Apparently feeling like you are having the start of a heart attack every couple months from age 8-35 is actually “normal” and “benign”, i am just learning today…
The human body is so fucked lol

Take a salt tablet, cowboy. Get back in that saddle. If it still hurts, chug some Pepto Bismol. We got work to do.
sicarius@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Is this the pain that feels like a knitting needle getting rammed into your chest and only lasts for like 2 seconds but it’s two second you think “Shit! I’ve been stabbed” and everyone around looks at you because you’ve Just reacted like you’ve been stabbed.
Broadfern@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Precordial catch. More common when you’re younger but hoo boy do they hurt like a motherfucker. Fortunately they’re harmless.

Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 16 hours ago
No country has “free” healthcare (afaik), people just have a fixed percentage amount deducted from their gross income every month.
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago
Well, yeah, but if you are unemployed you still get to benefit from it for free in Spain, so it’s a collectively paid free healthcare.
Kids also get to benefit from it without depending on their parents’ jobs or anything.
We pay the infrastructure that we can provide free healthcare. It’s free in the receiving end.
