You could also have Costocondritis in the chest area. Fibromyalgia messes with the chest area also. Alao RSD. Lots of choices.

I went trough the test about 5 yrs ago. I was put on Vioxx and did it do a job on me? I had a heart attack and stroke from taking it. They discontinued it but like my Pharmacist said, they left Celebrex out there which is the same thing as the Vioxx.

I have a Cardiogist I see but I cannot do those heart meds. Horrible headaches from it. I keep the nitro around.

Like you though I do have trouble distinguishing between the RSD and heart issues but see my PCP enough that he can help me figure it out.

I have gotten triggerpoint injections in my chest area. My PCP does them. If I've had one I've had 1000's and they do work. I just got some in my pelvic area yesterday. The surgery I had worked on the outside but not the inside.

I had all of the test for my heart. 2 where they go up in the groin and look on that tv as I call it. If they are doing what they need to do for the heart then chances are you are dealing with RSD or something else in that chest area. It took us years to get mine calmed down. PT and TPI's were what helped me. The PTers did massage on my chest wall to help stretch the muscles and loosen me up in the chest area.

I hope it calms down for you soon.
