Does Anyone Else Experience Very Intense Gripping Chest Pain Along With The COPD? It Seems More Frequent When I'm Stressed.

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cornville, AZ

It wakes me up, and is usually only anterior, but sometimes posterior also. It's not cramping, really, like the intercostal cramps. It's more like crushing, gripping "pain"/discomfort.

I've been to the ER twice in the last 4 weeks, sob and bad chest pain.
Xrays both times, CT scans and heart monitor and nothing showed up, thank God.
Almost felt like when my lung collapsed 20 some years ago.
The pain was like external, hurt to touch my side of my heart/chest.
But hurt when I would breath. They said stress plays a part in a lot and more than likely
would stop on it's own. Gave me unscented Lidocaine Pain Patches the second trip, and I love them. Any pain patch would work, just odor free for sure!
Stopped my pain immediately, now I am afraid to go without one on!
Worked like a miracle, and I feel so much better. 😃 Bought more over the counter in
any store in the medicine section. Best of luck to you 🍀

Sob on the other hand... 🙄

I do some times, but I know why, my ekg is 98 96 96 15 I am ok most of the time I am ok, but like you said under stress, or when I get sick? or any time I put more of a demand on my heart that one artery in my heart shows where is has a flaw :)
