Why Am I Still Getting These Random Chest Pains?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

i am not too sure why i am still experiencing chest pains, I had history of chest pains before and i ended up in the ER a few months ago ’cause i thought i was having a heart attack due to my chest pains. However, after having a chest x-ray, EKG and blood tests, the doctors told me that i was just having anxiety. It is true that my life has been very stressful since the death of my father 2 years ago, and my doctor prescribed me paxil for my stress, but i only took it for 3 days because i couldn’t handle the severe side effects of it. Also, i think i have learned how to control my stress without any medications. Also, i have been taking Rogaine for my male pattern baldness which my other doctor prescribed to me almost a year ago; however, i have decided to temporary stop the medication (rogaine) 4 days ago since i noticed that it is the one that’s giving me the chest pains, and also because one of the side effects of it is chest pains. My question is why am i still getting this random chest pains?? it feels like something is poking and/or grabbing my chest (most of the time the left side that hurts). I am only 21 years old so i am not too sure what’s the matter of me. I don’t smoke nor drink alcohols. Oh yeah, i am currently seeing a counselor for my stress.
i need a serious answers, so please help. thank you for your time. :)

Why Am I Still Getting Back Pain And Chest Pain?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I have been experiencing back pain and chest pain (the chest pain feels like someone is poking me in the middle and sometimes in the right side of the my chest). I went to the ER three days ago and they gave me a blood test (for my blood counts, cholesterol, and kidney), EKG, and a chest x ray.. everything came out normal.. my dad died two years ago and i have been in a lot of stress lately and most of the time i am having trouble falling asleep at night. Therefore, my doctor told me that it’s the stress and not being able to sleep at night that are causing all the back pains and chest pain. Also, I have been taking rogaine for my male pattern baldness. So i’m not sure if that’s another cause of my chest pain. I am a 20-year old man.. about to turn 21 this month.. can someone tell me why am i still getting chest pains and sometimes back pains?
thank u for your time.
