acid reflux, thyroid, heart, lung, nerves; etc can cause same chest pain in which 128 millions people got heart diseases and acid relux. Higher age more risk for heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, infections can also affect heart's pain

zantac, maalox (over the counter) can help acid relux.

if heart disease, the fast and cheapest medicine is nitroglycerin ointment about $1/month. Apply ointment on a piece of paper then stick it on the chest to release chest pain. This was discovered by mine workers by mixing dynamine with vaseline for chest pain.

Check with health offices from any city or county which often have free public medical service, or
Join Wal-Mart health insurance program in some states and $4/month program for any pills.

However, if the pain doesnt stop, then must go to ER immediately.

A baby coated aspirine daily can prevent blood clots in the heart.

can email to get the name of herbs to grow in few months to heal heart.

If you are young (less than 30 years old) - take some tylenol or ibuprofen. If you are over this age, you need a cardiac evaluation whether you have health insurance or not. Chest pain that radiates is your heart crying for oxygen because there is a blockage or narrowing of one of your coronary vessels. One of these days, it could close completely and you will be having your first heart attack. Prevention is a whole lot cheaper than intervention. A doctor visit is minute compared to hospitalization, cardiac cath, rehab. Take care of the problem now while it is still relatively minor before it becomes a BIG problem. Also, you can die with your very first heart attack.

There is NO effective home remedy for chest pain. Go to an emergency room, and make payment arrangements with them. Not having insurance won't matter if you are dead.

I was diagnosed with costochondritis at first, but then they figured out that it is chronic myofascial pain (which is very similar to fibromyalgia). You probably have some trigger points (a trigger point is a knot in the muscle). You most likely have several if you have had this for some time. The trigger points are most likely in your sternalis, pectoralis, or intercostal muscles - but can spread (ie. serratus anterior) . The only way to relieve a trigger point is to put pressure on it (Use a broad tip marker on the pointy end - I like those fat sharpie's and consider buying a THERACANE - it is a great tool for the back especially!). Your external intercostal muscles are responsible for expanding your ribcage when you take a deep breath. It will hurt when you press on the trigger point at first and lots of times they refer pain (you will press on the trigger point and feel the pain else where). The pain will be felt at first but then it should gradually get less and less. You have to work out the trigger points (consider seeing a massage therapist who does myofascial release - I tried electro-acupuncture but it was NO-WHERE NEAR AS EFFECTIVE as massage therapy) and you also have to stretch your back, neck and ribcage (do a pec stretch). Remember that anything affected in the back will also be affected in the front and vice-versa. To do a pec stretch (which stretches your pectoral muscles, sternalis, and intercostals) stand in a doorway with your arms against the door frame in an "L" position (and keep your bicep at shoulder height and lean forward. You should feel a stretch in your upper chest. To stretch the neck (re: sternocledomastoid and scalenes) sit in a chair with the feet flat on the floor and arms by your side relaxed. Tilt your head to one side and hold when you feel a stretch. then do the other way. Also for the scalene muscles in the neck tilt the head to one side while seated in the chair and then at the same time turn your head upwards to the ceiling and hold. Also make sure you sit with feet flat on the ground and your back straight and not slouched as this can lead to developing trigger points in your back & neck in the scalenes (re: neck) and in the rhomboids and trapezius in your back & other places. You should try to deep breath even if you can only get a little air in and hold it as this will allow your muscles to stretch. Rehab I found is a LONG PROCESS for this and muscle relaxents do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! You should consider buying the the book by Claire Davies called "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook". Trigger points can also create sattelite trigger points (i.e. in your abdominal muscles which can sometimes give you bladder urges - you feel like you got to go but you actually don't). Good luck to you. I got my diagnosis from a Thoracic Surgeon, but you can also see a Rheumatologist. I also want to note that I went for a pulmonary function test and my family doc told me I had asthma. HOWEVER, he did not know my specialist got a copy of the test results and he said my test was "normal" - so I don't have asthma! Apparently ALOT of family practice MDs have never heard of Chronic Myofascial pain and do not know about trigger points (mine didn't).

ANYTIME you have chest pains, especially if it radiates to your arms, back, neck or jaw, you should seek immediate medical attention. It's probably nothing to worry about, but it's always best to be on the safe side. Next time it happens, call 911!!

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/2LgCq

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

If you are having chest pains you should go to a doctor, especially if you are having pains in your arms also, that can be a sign of a heart attack.
