What Causes Persistent Chronic Chest Pain?

Hi, I m 25 years old, I m 6 2 190, 190 lbs at 7% body fat. My blood pressure is 110/70 and I ve always played sports my entire life and when I got into college transitioned to more of kayaking, biking, skiing, and rock climbing. For the past ~8 years I have noticed unexplained chest pain that hurts a lot! Sometimes so bad that I hold my breath cause it hurts so bad. I ve always just shook it off and dealt with it. But recently in the past 3 years it s been been spurratic, especially after going through and completing BUDs. Now I m just paying more attention to it and just curious if this is something I should be concerned abou? I was about 16-17 when I had a monogram on my heart about this issue and they said they didn t find anything.

Hi dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your wife have persistent chronic chest pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , chest infection , injury in thoracic cage or acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay for proper diagnosis rule out causes like angina and other heart related problem first , muscle spasm and nerve dysfunction . Doctor may order certain test like ECG and examine with stethoscope . Doctor may prescribe treatment for restoring your ventricular rate. Beta blockers, like Atenolol, Carvedilol, Propranolol, and others can slow the heart rate. Calcium channel blockers, such as Dilitiazem and Verapamil, are another class of drug used to slow the beating of the ventricles . Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem or chest specialist for chest infection . For now take proper rest , eat light and non spicy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
