Hi Rose ,

Can you please clarify for me is it real pain you feel or a super fast heart beat ?

I had a chest pain once , and my heart was going like a trip hammer , my jaw hurt , it was hard to breath and I was shoveling snow at the time. But my left arm did not hurt , it felt completely fine.

I went in the house , took some anti anxiety meds that were prescribed , laid on my bad , on my back , and I remembered breathing slowly , although I wanted to breath fast.

As I slowed my breathing I noticed that my heart rate was slowing and my jaw did not hurt anymore , I could breath fine.

I got up and felt ok , but did not go back out to shovel. I called my doctor the next day for an app. and he sent me to the hospital for an EKG , and it showed I had damaged , ever so slightly the outer musculature of my heart , nothing really to worry about as the damage was so slight , non the less , my doctor called me back in and said " what did you do . ? I told him shelving snow " he said perhaps you should let someone else do it for a while.

I did , for a while , but now I am back shoveling snow again . I don`t want to have a heart attack , so I take it easy , and be careful.

If my story sounds anything like yours , my story happened over 20 years ago , I am still here.

I suggest , just to put your mind at ease you either contact your doctor or go to the ER and tell them what happened and they most likely will give you a simple EKG , no dye , no pain , just a few suction cups here and there and a couple of minutes later , you will be on your way home.

Good luck , and take care ,
