What'd you find?

I still havent found fuck all that helps with my chest pains.

With me it was generalized anxiety disorder and anxiolytics help. With me simply St. John's Wort extract helped. There is a warning that it makes some people more sensitive to the sun though. Otherwise, you'd have to see which anxiolytics are out there that don't cause too many side effects and don't interact with pre-existing meds you may already take.

Problem for me is I dont have anxiety problems.

I have "Oh my fucking god, my chest is killing me" problems. Which, understandably, creates some anxiety and trepidation. Doctors/ERs/etc always want to blame anxiety for it, despite the fact that even the good IV benzos and shit do fuck all but make me not give a shit.

Glad something works for you man, I wouldnt wish this shit on anyone.

Have you checked if it comes from stress or from back strain (because this stuff can spread from the back to the chest)?

Yep.

All doctors do is shrug and say its weird but normal.

Damn. I am at a loss what it could be then.

Sharp sudden pain? Could be precordial catch. (If not then idk). It mostly affects active younger men (late teens/early twenties) but I still have it going on in my early thirties.

If you apply pressure does it hurt less or more? What about when you release the pressure? Is it a specific area or a bit more radial? Does it get worse or not during or after taking a deep breath in?

I'm assuming you've already tried inadvisable high quantities of NSAIDs and/or seing a doctor about the issue?
