Crushing pain in the chest that radiates up to your jaw and down through your arm is the classic symptom of a heart attack. Every now and then I get these, and they last from seconds up to an hour.
The kicker is that this is all on my right side. The first time it happened--many years ago--I called 911, had an ambulance ride, spent the night in the ICU, and went home with a Holter monitor. My doctor thinks that it is caused by fibro triggering the muscles surrounding the rib cage.
Has anyone out there experienced this? What helps ease the pain?
