true story:
I've had an incredibly sharp, stabbing pain in my chest a few times in my life. Left side, sudden onset, directly above heart area. Stays for a few minutes.
Obviously very scary, first time it happened I thought I might be having a heart attack. End of the road shit. Went to cardiologist, got ecg and sonar. Cardiologist essentially shrugged "🤷 idk, I don't see anth, next patient pls I'm busy".
I thought maybe it could be pericarditis or myocarditis or smth, very worrisome, but blood test didn't show anth either. A few months later it happened again, and eventually I went to another cardiologist, same thing.
I'm 28, very active, and generally healthy. Having what feels like a heart attack multiple times is very worrisome, and it's even worse when doctors have no clue. You don't want to be 1/n statistic and get a new disease named after you.
