It was an ER dr but I have asked them to send all the tests to my surgeon to see if he can see any abnormality.

Do you still have your gall bladder? I had similar symptoms when I had gall bladder attacks. The ER told me I was having chest wall spasms and sent me home. I did not present with normal gall bladder symptoms. When they did an ultrasound they found out that I was loaded with gall stones. The next day I was in surgery to get my gall bladder out.

I have my gallbladder and they did the ultrasound to check for gall stones. All clean.

While I was in the hospital and they were trying to identify the problem they decided to remove my gallbladder and my bariatric surgeon was called in to do that. That was before they did the chemical stress test. Once they realized the heart was involved they postposed gallbladder until after I had healed from the heart surgery.

I did have a small stone and some sludge, but that never caused me any pain.

Intersusseption? It's not common, but is something I've seen on here from time to time.

Definitely a pain that can come and go. Worth asking if it happens again

I have had exact symptoms. Finally referred to Mayo. Stress test , angiogram, cat scan and then heart cath.NOTHING I found answer and STRESS do not do this. I suffer from migraines and the only thing that works is Excedrin. It was my NSAID that caused all the pain.

Oh Sheila, that sounds so scary! I am sorry you went through it. Not finding anything is both great and scary. I hope it was a one-time thing. Sending you a hug!

I'm so glad that you're ok! I don't have any advice on those symptoms either but please take good care of yourself!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, how scary!! I've had some similar pains here and there, but nothing that lasted that long or to that extent.

to you!!
