Chest pains so bad!!!

[Blessed]

Just had chest pains so bad it took my breath!!! So scary please help me. Now i have a warm sensation all thru my body . This was the worst feeling chest pain ever!!!!!

[jessed03]

Anxiety, no?

Do you have children Blessed? Do you think having kids makes your anxiety stronger?

[Blessed]

I have two children. I was just sitting on couch it came over me out of nowhere so scared!

[cdfrank]

I have chest pains like that allllllllll the time

[jessed03]

Haven't you been here, albeit it less painful, loads of times before and lived? :)

[mistiblue]

Blessed- It is just anxiety. The chest pains are making your anxiety heighten, in turn causing other symptoms as well (warm sensations).
I do this ALL the time. I will have one symptom and start thinking I am dying....that will in turn make my anxiety even worse and I will start having all sorts of symptoms.
Try to calm down....drink some hot tea, meditate, take a nice warm bath with candles.
I have children too....4 wonderful children, but BOY can they stress me out sometimes. Other times, they bring me comfort.....
Take it in stride my friend....this too shall pass! :o)

[Berts]

Hang in there!

[jessed03]

How you doin' Blessed? You ok?

[cdfrank]

My chest pains be horrible

[JLBnole68]

Chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath are always terrible symptoms to experience. Hope you all feel better soon.

[Blessed]

Better thank you . My anxiety kept me awake last night after that episode but I feel better now, man I am so sick of worrying about this all the time. If I have a symptom I automatically assume the worst. It's never anything logical

ARE YOU TAKING YOUR REFLUX MEDICATION??

and please answer the question before you run off!!!

E-Man.

[Blessed]

Yes I'm still on protonix 40mg once daily

[Enduronman]

Is it possible for you to try something else, like the omeprazole for a few days instead of that protonix???

It may actually BE the protonix causing much of your problem..the omeprazole is MUCH better tolerated friend.....

Please try it instead!!!....:)

[Blessed]

My doc switched me from omeprazole to protonix because he said it wasn't strong enough. :(

[Enduronman]

hmmmm.....grrrrr....(sigh)......:(

My doc switched me from omeprazole to protonix because he said it wasn't strong enough. :(

Your doctor was probably correct. Protonix is much stronger, especially if we're talking about the OTC version of Omeprazole vs Rx version of Protonix. They are both in the same drug family, Protonix is Pantoprazole, Prilosec is Omeprazole. They are both Proton Pump Inhibitors.

My chest pains have returned I'm so scared!!!!! Sometimes it take my breath. I took two protonix 40mg within 4 hours of each other is that safe ? I'm meantime what to do about chest pains????

[MiST]

See your GP again.

Taking 2 within 4 hours should not be done unless instructed by your doctor. Never take more than directed. The medication stops your stomach from producing acid. Taking more than directed probably won't contribute to its effectiveness.

Are the chest pains the same as always? Are they the same you described to your doctor? If you swallow or move around, can you make them less intense, or temporarily go away?

[Blessed]

The med calls for one 40mg pill twice a day, I've only been taking one but today I felt like I needed two. The chest pains are hard to describe its dull and achy, I used a new machine at gym last night where I had to use my arms maybe that's it??? Should I be concerned?

[Enduronman]

You have the same problem that Ms. Ashlee did, muscle sprain...You should've said that first B!!...No, no concerns...the new machine is the cause.

If your Doc calls for 80mg, then take 80mg Blessed!!...that'll at least rule out the GER...

E-Man..:)

[jessed03]

Given your past survivals, your diagnosis of anxiety, your clear test results... I wouldn't be concerned at all!

[Blessed]

Thank u sorry. I didn't think about that machine cause I only did if for 6 minutes but I did it really hard.....

[Enduronman]

YES!! That's it!!!....Ask Ashlee about HER pains... :)
