chest pain- anxiety, gallbladder or worse ??

[gordie1]

Hi there I keep on getting this stabbing pain really sharp between my left breast and my shoulder i have had it since 1pm coming and going long periods where I dont have it it is sore to touch the area i also have been burping a lot under major stress today got chased by a rottweiller today and then went to see cardiologist to get the results of 24 heart tape he wants me on warfarin, Im also waiting to have a colonoscopy. Also ate a lot of fat today sausage and egg sandwich and scampi and chips so was wondering if it was gallbladder related but cant stop panicing thinking it is my heart or pulmonary embolism but it is happening just as I want to go to sleep already taken 1 valium and 2 paracetemol it is driving me mad. Then thinking could it be precordial catch syndrome.

Try to relax [easier said than done] It sounds like you're working yourself up
into a right tizzy. Stop trying to imagine the worse scenario.Your doctor would have had yo admitted to hospital if they thought it was urgent. Calm down, try some deep breathing exercises, it usually helps me if I feel panicky.
There's nothing wrong with taking warfarin. My other half has taken it the last two years and only has to have blood tests every 3 months. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Cupid04.

Oh! dear, I must say that i agree with cupid.........wrong side of the chest for gall bladder trouble, no reason for a pulmonary embolus, but i do wonder for what reason the cardiologist wants you to start on Warfarin?
Yes.....it does have certain characteristics of PCS.....but no big deal.

You should feel better in the morning..........let us know.

I have pulled a muscle in my chest doc checked everything. He wants me on warfarin for Atrial Fibrillation. I live on my own so I tend to panic at night thanks for replies

gordie........yes, that seems a very reasonable conclusion by your GP.

Yes...AF does require anticoagulants.

Thanks for the feedback
