Attention chest pain

Quote:
Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Has anyone with Fibro or some neurological problem dealt with this? I am very concerned. I have a call into my PCP and am waiting his call.

I certainly hope you've got this worked out b y now, I just came across this forum today, your chest pain to me sounds like a blood clot in your lungs, they'll need to do a katscan they are VERY painful(pain is worse when laying down),

My clot was at first in my leg, to which my doctor kept telling me for a month was a pulled muscle, even though my leg was different color than other leg and had me putting hot packs on it (idiot doctor) even after I told him it started in my sleep. well, clot broke off and went to my lungs.. then for 3 weeks he told me it was bronchitis, till I went to ER and ER doctor sent me for katscan and found the biggest clot he'd seen anyone have and live through(it was touch n go there for awhile).

My problem is I have epilepsy, (controlled with dilantin) and as of late(last 4-5 months) I get woke up with tingling in my chest, worsens to hard painful hard to breath tingling, from start to end, lasts about 20-30 min. there's no clot, and after the stress test came back normal my doctor put me on icky anti acid b4 bed, telling me it was my tummy, today I again got woke up with it, so I took more anti-acid, it did nothing, and soon my arms were weak,
I was not 'upset' or 'hyperventilating'. I got up and walked toward bathroom, didn't get 10 ft, and had a seizure, aftr the seizure was over, the chest pain was gone. my seizures are rare, they stem from the part of the brain that controls blood pressure. during one, my BP get dangerously low, and pulse gets down to 32bpm. I've researched, and found one site relating to "chest epilepsy" but no real info on it.. any one know of this? or what I should tell my (new) doctor to look for? I'm also on Synthoid(hypothyroid) warafin(unknown clotting diorder) as well as dilantin(epilepsy.)
