I had servere chest pains for about 6 years. I spent time in the hospital also for it. They diagnosed me with angina and I'd had a stroke and heart attack while on Vioxx. They had me on heart meds which I couldn't take so I threw them away.

They soon found that I had costocondritis and I also have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which causes chest pain. I had 4 inches of muscle taken out from under my arm in 04 and it seemed to help but I still deal with the chest pains when I take certain meds and eat the wrong foods or do the wrong arm movements. I've asked many times why these things causes this pain and no one can tell me. They also chalked it up to Esopogeal spasms.

I was wondering if you might have Fibromyalgia also. It can also cause chest pains.

For some reasons when we have several things going on the Drs. can't seperate what's causing what so they start grasping at straws.

Hope you start seeing some relief soon.
