Re-post TOS, why some have shortness of breath and chest pain
My old Post:
TOS, why some have shortness of breath and chest pain
One new symptom has been the shortess of breath. He explained it this way, when he asked if we knew why it happened...
The let me think...Intercostal clavicular nerve....It is the one that on a diagram comes from the area of the arm pit and travels across the chest is the culpirt.
The lungs breath, as they expand from the diaphram bringing air in to fill it ...compresses against the chest wall where this nerve runs. From the pressure on the nerve it causes compression, irratation and the body reacts to it.
I am trying to remember as I didn't write it down. But this affects the chest wall to the point when you breath you are not able to get breath properly from the irratation...
He said this is the nerve inflamation that often will send someone to the ER with thoughts of a potential heart attack.
It is proably the one that makes me feel like a vibrating pager is going to my breast.
