nitroglycerin and angina

What can cause severe chest pains?

I have been experiencing severe sharp chest pains under my left breast for a few days now and don’t know what it can be from. I have suffered from this pain for over 15 years and no doctor seems to know what it is from. I went to the emergency room and was given a stress test and echo test that were all normal. They also gave me nitroglycerin and aspirin which seem to help. It hurts most when I breath in and when I move. Could it be muscle pain or angina pain? What could cause this severe pain?

My pains are from spleen swelling do to an autoimmune disease. Spleen puffs up, pushes on the diaphragm, can’t breathe properly, stuff squishes stuff, all great fun, no?

It maaay not be what you have just because I ended up with all the bizarre diseases but it’s one thing that causes it. Yay internal swelling..
Another could be a pulled muscle.. My grandma somehow manages to pull the muscle right behind the heart often. She thought she was having a heart attack, but nope. Just pulled muscle.

Good luck figurng out! Feel better!
