Well my father didnt go to the doctor because he kept saying "its just bloomin heart burn, stuff doctors" then one night at the dinner table that was the last time he complained about it, he had a massive heart attack and didnt even make it to hospital. Please please just go to the doc and maybe if its indigestion they could treat that and you wouldnt get pains anymore.

Being in the air conditioning hurts my chest pretty bad, I can't be in it for too long. They say you shouldn't take any chance with chest pain though. Does it happen at any particular time of the day, or when you're doing anything? Do you get short of breath or dizzy or have any other symptoms? It could just be something as simple as angina or stress, but it's best to have it checked out.

Blood pressure will elevate with ANY type of pain.  Chest pain should always be evaluated by a Doctor, there are many causes.

I have never heard of this happening...I think that the worst case scenario would be that your brain wouldn't get enough oxygen and you could die...though I guess it may be possible if a person were rescusitated that they could have suffered some brain damage that leaves them paralized.  I have heard of people having tingling in their arms and legs when they are having an asthma attack though.

Tightening chest muscle, a tight chest. Also a pain down the left arm is a sgn of a heart attack. Feeling nauseated is a common symptom and she may have felt really groggy. Please do yourself a favour and get her checked out. Its better to be safe than sorry

Absolutely.  Chest pains are nothing to fool with.  Go to the emergency room, better safe than sorry.  If it turns out to be serious, see an atty who specializes in medical malpractice.  Your doctor should never make jokes about anything you ask her about.

Absolutely yes.  Diabetics are at much higher risk of having a "silent heart attack."  That means they do not experience regular chest pain, but rather may have atypical symptoms of shortness of breath, nausea, etc. (without pain).

Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.\n\nDiscomfort in other areas of the upper body. Can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.\n\nShortness of breath. Often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort.\n\nOther symptoms. May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness\n\nno hair loss is not a symptom\n\nhan

The common conception is that chest pain that radiates through your left arm could be a sign of myocardial infarction. In fact chest pain that radiates through the shoulder and neck could also be symptomatic of this. You do not give any information about your age, the duration and intensity of this pain, when it comes about, or any other health information about yourself; so you cannot expect anyone to offer an opinion about what may be causing it. I suggest you go and see your doctor. If it is severe, prolonged, you are simultaneously breathless etc.. go to an Accident & Emergency department instead (in extreme call an ambulance).

All right, here is the deal.  I don't usually tell people what to do on this forum, but let me warn you, the excessive intergestion in the setting of chest pain is a classic sign of an inferior (meaning lower part of the heart) heart attack.  Now this may just be heartburn as suggested above, but if you are having chest pain with lots of burping right now, you may want to go to the ER just to be safe, or at least call your doctor or a nurse to ask them what to do.

Sounds more like a panic attack than a physical ailment, and at 18, you're highly unlikely to have heart problems regardless of your family's history.\n\nNevertheless, a trip to the doctor wouldn't be a bad idea at all.  Electrocardiograms are quick and painless, and not all that expensive either.\n\nBut since you're also having stomach pains and migranes, I would bet money that it's stress or anxiety.

chest pain means go to the doctor ASAP could be one of many causes, the important one is the heart which as you would agree is pretty important.  For the back, try exercise.

How often does this happen?  It's important to take chest pains very seriously, they could be signs of a heart attack or stroke.  Is it hard to breathe?  You should see a doctor ASAP, at least to rule out any heart issues.  I'm a nurse so please take my advice.\nYou'll be okay sweetie.

No, it doesn't. Carpal tunnel syndrome is defined as compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the hand. Thus, it only causes symptoms below the point of compression ie. in the hand (specifically the lateral 3 and a half fingers).\n\nIf you have numbness affecting the entire arm, it is much more likely to be caused by compression of a nerve root in the neck. Heart problems don't tend to cause numbness of the left arm in isolation, so if this is your only symptom, I wouldn't worry about your heart. If, however, you have other symptoms suggesting problems with your heart, you should bring them to your doctor's attention and explain your concerns.

One thing could be a sign of a heart attack or you may have ashtma, bronchitis's or some form of a chest cold. If you have chest pains please make sure you get tested RIGHT  AWAY.
