How would you describe mild chest pain discomfort?

This is a cause for concern.

Mild pain may signal a big problem later.

I had serious chest pain once, but it turned out to be a pulled chest muscle. I suggest you call a doctor or nurse.

Definitely can be caused by bad posture, also from overwork, bending a lot, coughing hard, etc. I’ve had pain from coughing and it’s pretty bad.

Is this for yourself or curiosity? because you ask a lot of health questions that seem on the surface to be about yourself. When in doubt, see your doctor; don’t rely on a forum. Or look up questions on reputable sites, like mayo clinic, cleveland clinic, m d anderson, and numerous others.

@smudges Myself I will call a toll free nurse. Will update when I have new info.

I’m glad you are checking with a nurse. Not everyone has the same symptoms when having a heart attack. I had no symptoms, yet I had a heart attack.

Update @chyna @smudges @Hawaii_Jake I called the nurse and she recommended that I see a doctor in three day or sooner, and Is not a medical emergency. Thanks for being there for me.

Heartburn. Cut out the spicy food, coffee.

Time to obey the signs! Do what the docs. say you must!

I had a deep sleep and will make a doctors appointment tomorrow. Probably for Monday. I’m feeling fine.

Surely if you have any pain or ache at all it must be at least a 1 because a 0 means no pain or ache at all.

If you have any pain or ache in your chest at all it should be checked out by your doctor.

The cause can be attributed to many things most thankfully are not serious and easily treated but there are some chest problems which are extremely serious, one of which is a serious heart problem beginning.

I only had indigestion and that lasted for a couple of days so I went to my doctor and it transpired that I had had a heart attack.

So no matter how slight the pain or discomfort may be in the chest it is imperative that medical advice should be sought.

@all My doctor is off. I will see her on August 4th @ 1pm.

This is tough to answer since the pain tolerance of people differ. However, mild can range from a simple tingling, irritating feeling like “butterflies” in the stomach, but this time it is in the chest area. It can also manifest as a heavy feeling on the chest, like something is on it. I’ve experienced mild chest pain and discomfort and i usually describe it as a burning sensation. But this is because of the heartburn i experience. People I know also describe this as a sharp piercing sensation like something poked their chests. Of course, the pain has it’s degrees of discomfort. I would say it is severe if the sensation spreads from your chest to your aw, neck and arm. Get checked by a medical professional. Sometimes minor discomfort can mean more. This may point to something more serious. Cardiac arrest is one that comes to mind. I had friends and family who experienced this. Here is a link A Concise Dummy’s Guide on Cardiac Arrest It might give you a better idea. I do hope everything will be ok.

@all I am half way through doing my four loads of laundry. If I was going to have a heart attack it would be now.

At the worst today I felt pressure on my chest from going up and down my 3 flights of stairs, and feeling my heartbeat in my neck. Last load of laundry in the washer for today. Then rest.

@all I survived. Got a good workout. Will eat something soon. Will Update on August 4th.

Update August 10th Wednesday I have a heart scan at 10:15am and I have to return a device the next day at 8am or 10:30am

Keep us posted. I’m glad you followed through and are getting this checked out. Good thoughts for the scan and monitor.

Update Have a portable heart monitor and a blood pressure cuff with me. I return it tomorrow at 8am. August 18th I do a in clinic heart test.

Thanks for the update. If you want, let us know the results.

Wish you the best. You’re a great guy with a great mind.

Update I returned the medical devices. The blood pressure monitor hurt 9.5 / 10 every 30 minutes.

Am hoping that the bruises on my arm from the cuff being too tight disappear soon.

Next test on August 18.

Thank you for the update. I’m glad to know you’re caring for yourself.
