Hi Nairalanders, am 23years, I weigh 113lbs, 6 ft 9 tall, 30inch waist and a very tiny wrist. Am just saying this so you can imagine how skinny I am with my Age.

I've been having chest pain for a very long time (Almost 4years). Have been to different hospitals (both Private and Government) to diagnose myself.

Initially, the pain was like Normal Pain. Not Left-Side Pain. And I wasn't sure of what to tell the Doctor, so I asked my friend where someone can diagnose thoroughly. He told me to go to KEDI Health Care Office. Getting there, I was asked to stand on a machine which I held something attached to it for some minutes. The machine flagged red because of my weight and my age. The man said something about my Artery not pumping blood well, I've forgotten the exact thing he said. He asked me to buy a Supplement which costs 15K or so. And to eat Apple. I don't have the money, so I was thinking of visiting Hospital.

Now I was having the pain around my heart. I went to a Private Hospital and the Doctor asked me to do some tests. X-Ray, Blood Test, ECG. I did all these, and the results were Ok, according to the doctor. He just gave me some pain reliever. He said my Heart beats at the normal level, so it's nothing close to Heart Issue. My Parents are not that financially Ok but they don't play with my health because I am the ONLY son.

While using the Drugs, I was managing myself hoping the Pains will vanish some day.

I later went to another Hospital, Teaching Hospital to be precise. My Dad didn't have the money to take me back to a Private Hospital. The day I was given an appointment was the day they started strike, so he had no choice to look out for money and get me admitted into a Private Hospital. The pain was becoming unbearable this time. We were asked to do the same tests again; Xray, ECG, and blood tests. The Woman said there's nothing wrong with my chest. That maybe it's because of Stress.

My parents were already getting tired because of Spending Money on an Unknown Issue. Most time they see me smiling at anything (Mum especially) I see the look on her face how she treasure me and how she's scared to lose me.

[size=16]This time the pain has gotten to my back, and I also feel the pain around my neck, arm, shoulder, ear (All Left Sides).[/size]

I later went to Teaching Hospital after the strike. I was seen by a Cardiologist. He asked me questions. He asked if I ever had an Heart Attack, or fainted before. It never occurred to me which I don't pray for. He later referred me to a department where I did X-ray. I did some blood tests also and ECG test.

As usual, after the result he said there's nothing wrong with me. Gave me some drugs, can't remember the names. I finished my drugs and yet, the pain won't leave.

I started "googling" answers to the kind of pain am having. The ONLY thing close to what am going through is Angina. The symptoms of Angina is the same thing am going through.

I went back to the Doctor. I had to skip the protocols at the Hospital (Waiting, Opening of Folder etc) so as to beat time. I told him the pain is still there that I think it's Angina. He laughed and asked if have been googling lately. He asked me to stand up, said I look good that if it was Heart Problem, I wouldn't be able to walk well not to talk of standing upright. And told me to stop googling when it comes to Health Issues. He asked me to continue my Medicine.

I was giving up, and wanna start living with it.. But Life is Good, I don't wanna die young. Am an Ambitious Young Guy that wants to break the jinx in the family.

I called my long distance Uncle (a Nurse) that am having Angina, and asked him the Drugs to buy. He asked his colleagues and told me to buy Nitroglycerin and Aspirin. I used these drugs for months. But still having the pain.

Now, in the last 2 months, I've been having this warm-dead feeling in my left leg and left hand. Plus the chest pain down to back also (Left side).

Pls Help Me!!

I would like to know if this disease stops someone from growing. Because my 5year old clothes still fit me well. I'm not gaining weight or adding flesh. PLS HELP Guys!

What are the names of the hospitals you've visited?
What is your blood pressure like?
Have u done angiography before?
Where exactly was the pain located? In d center of ur chest or where?
What is the nature of d pain?

Your case appears to not be straight forward. What you need to do is to get the doctors to take you more seriously. Advise via this forum is inherently dangerous as there's no physical interaction and opportunity to view your tests etc. My advice is as follows -

See this post https://www.nairaland.com/1801444/5-short-tips-improve-healthcare to see how to get more from a hospital visit

It basically says to go prepared with all your tests results and history and be clear what you want from your visit

visit the link below to see a link to a list of all cardiologists in the nigerian cardiac society

http://abujahealthpages.com/nairaland.html

Pick one on the list.

Attend him and explain that you are very concerned about your symptoms

Also ask the following questions

- Do i appear Marfanoid to you?

- Could my pain be from a dissection?

- Would you recommend a CT scan of my blood vessels

The above questions will encourage the doctor to explore further causes of your pain and help rule them in or out

Thanks for your reply. I've visited 2 private hospitals in Ibadan, don't wanna mention their names. And I did the tests at Mokola and Queen Medicals. Also, I've been going to OAU Teaching Hospital. It was 120/80 the last time. Don't know what Angiography is. I feel the pain in my heart, down to my back, arm, and neck.

You're right. The ones I've visited are really not serious about it. They even lost my record and asked me to restart the whole investigation. Why am asking here is because I've seen someone with the same issue and was also told to be OK after tests. I want to know if it's hard for the Docs to know when someone is having Angina Pectoris. I 'll look up the links. But please can this be cured? Thanks sir! EDIT: There's nothing on Abuja Health Page, maybe it's my Browser.

Have u ruled out infections?

DominaJ: Have u ruled out infections?

Infection? Do you think am being infected? What kind of Infection? Thanks for your reply.

ajalagideon: my advice for you is to go back to that Kedi Office and buy the Product, of a truth, the product is cost but very effective. i have treated similar cases with Kedi Products

I still remember, Cordy Royal Jelly is one of the drugs the KEDI Man prescribed for me. [s]It's just that most Kedi Agents wanna rip people off.[/s] Is that your number there? I wouldn't want a third-party thing sir. Thanks man!

Like someone suggested, u need to get the doctors to take u seriously.
Angiography or more precisely CT angiography is a CT scan of ur blood vessels to know if they're in good shape especially the big vessels that are close to the heart.
Since doctors have assessed ur heart and discovered nothing "wrong", that's why I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with you blood vessels.

Aortic dissection (or even aortic aneurysm may possibly) radiate to the back. Angina doesn't classically radiate to the back.

Just meet a serious cardiologist who knows what he is doing. Seeking advice, especially medical advice, from nairaland is like searching for a pin in a haystack.

AprilTwo: And pls, what about the numb feeling in my left leg and left hand?

I don't know how much a CT Angio costs. But the cost is on d high side sha.
As for the numbness in your left arm and left leg, I think it has something to do with reduced blood supply to those areas. And like I suggested, since the doctors u met said ur heart is fine, the next place to look will be your blood vessels. That's why a CT Angio is important to know if your blood vessels, especially the Aorta, are okay.

Oklander: Do u experience shortness of breath, as in difficulty in breathing?

Sometimes.. And my heart beat faster sometimes. I want to visit The Renal Centre at Gbagada next week. But don't know how to get there.

AprilTwo: Sometimes.. And my heart beat faster sometimes. I want to visit The Renal Centre at Gbagada next week. But don't know how to get there.

I have been experiencing such similitude issue towhat you slated here.chest pain which comes and go, radiate to the back, sometimes upper arm and sometimes when I spit I see some traces of blood, the first day I went to the doctor, he checked my BP and it was actually on a high side 160/100, which he ask if I was thinking of anything or doing something streessful, I told him no that sometimes I just have my heart beating fast without being anxious or afraid of anything....All he diaognise was internal Ulcer and gave me suspension,pain reliver and told me am too young for him to place me on BP drug, he said I shld come back in 2days. I went back though relieved and my BP dropped to 140/85but my pulse still high over 100. He gave me another drug to the one have been using and told me to check back. A week later I feel better no chest pain, reduced back pain, and he said I shld continue with my drugs that I will be fine that if my heart still beat fast that he would consider ECG. Now I check my BP and its 120/70, the heart beat is normal but the chest pain, back painand arm has started. Am confuse!

I never had high BP.. Even though my heart beats very fast. 2011 when this issue was getting serious, the Nurse placed me on Ulcer Drugs also, and I didn't feel any changes.. So I stopped taking the drugs. What's your location?? And do you feel the pain everytime? Do you feel dizzy?
