have had pain under my left ribcage for 14 months now and have had a load of test done but nothing.usual crap ..ulcers..but surely they should have been cured with the medication i recieved.also i am getting pains in both arms jaw and rapid or slow heart beat but again have had all the tests done and nothing irregular.i am 31m and really at my wits end as this is ruining my life slowly but surely.feel weak and sick every day and seem to be waiting for something bad to happen so hospital will have to do something. i wasnt under any more stress than any one else before this started so i dont think its stress related. any help would be truly appreciated

Hello,
I would suggest to you is to see a chiropractor. They are so knowledgeable. I had sharp pain in my shoulder and chest area whenever I lifted my arm and couldn't lift it, so I visited my chiropractor. I had a rib out of place! He put it back into place and I felt so much better. It has happened to me twice.
I hope you are truly just not waiting for something to happen. When you do, you are focusing more on your pain and not really living. I am sure you are having the pain you are describing. I had chest pain and had tests run, nothing wrong with my heart. My brother-in-law was having sharp chest pains and had tests run. Nothing wrong with his heart, but his blood pressure shot up after one minute on the treadmill. He needs more exercise. I was diagnosed with acid reflux. I have to take antacid. I never had heart burn but maybe once a year before that. He put me on an antacid. I don't take it like I am suppose to, but now I do notice heartburn or acid reflux more than I would like. I guess my doctor was right. I still have intermittant chest pain and I still have the acid reflux. I don't take the medicine like I am suppose to, so I probably will still have the chest pain unless I listen to my doctor. You say you have ulcers, if you do, you may have the acid reflux and it could be causing you the same pain. If you are on medication for them, you should ask for something different as they seem to be not working for you.
My brother in law also was told it was his cartilage from his ribs causing some of his pain. He had been in an accident several years ago.
There is always hope, so do not give up. Pray and see a chiropractor. Give one a try. I will vouch for mine anyday. He is so knowledgeable, and has fixed a few things on me.
Hugs to you and a prayer sent out for you.

You might not have had any more stress than any one else BEFORE this started, but I think you have a lot more now.
Talk to the doctor who has been doing the testing, go into detail with your symptons. Sometimes, hearing it all again helps the doctor to pinpoint on something that will help.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance. But, talk to the docs.

It might have worstened due to medication. Some people are too sensitive for that.
