Sent to Health Experts March 16 01:10 PM

i have been having throbbing pain in my upper chest around the outside of my shoulder blades as well as my shoulders and i can also feel it in my neck and ear, it is on both sides of my body all spots at the same time. it comes lightly and then becomes stronger, It makes me gasp for air. these symptoms come and go what can it be?

 

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 37

Already Tried:
I have asked two different doctors that i have used and they take lab work and tell me that they don't know what it is.One doctor said muscle spazm. It is not a muscle pain. The first doctor i used was 8 years ago, and then I was running five miles a day and was in good shape. I recently started eating better and i have lost weight. I am still having the pains. It doesn't feel like a muscle pain it feels like a nerve or vein maybe flaring.

I recently went to the hospital about 5 months ago because i was having soreness in my pectoral muscle, It scared me a little so I went to the Emergency room, there they checked my blood pressure and hooked me to a monitor. They injected me with iodine and put me in a machine. I guess that was a MRI. They also did a stress test and took a sonogram of my heart. They said everything was fine.They also took x-rays of my chest. They did say that it could be acid reflux but i don't have any heartburn or any more pectoral pain, so I didn't take the medicine. I have been going to a weight control doctor and I have lost 37 lbs. and they check my blood pressure and said it is great. I think it was 127 over 70.

Hi,

From your history the cardiac cause of pain is already ruled out by your doctors .

As such two other possibilities are there .

1) GERD

2) Cervical radiculopathy .

As such you may get your Cervical spine investigated further by X -Ray/MRI

When I was in highschool I played football and I injured nerves in my neck. Every now and then I'll reach wrong and I will feel nerves pinching and it will burn. What is cervical radiculopathy and what would be the cause?

I don't have any back problems or any problems with physical activity. These pains that I have been having make me gasp for air. They start off lightly so I can tell when they are coming. I also are wakened at might gasping and i notice when I take deep breaths they go away. I was reading and is it possible that Angina can be the cause.
