TheGman6072 114 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Anybody else get very uncomfortable and painful chest pains ? It makes it hard to breathe plus I feel like I'm about to pass out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trip into hell 46 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 only during anxiety periods or panic attacks....even though sometimes and very rarely i feel a slight dicomfort in my chest but its not as intense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGman6072 114 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 This was like a panic attack without the anxiety feeling and "panicking". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trip into hell 46 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 so if its not anxiety related ..maybe you should go to a doctor just to be sure...and maybe take a look at your lifestyle (you know..diet, sports etc.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Granite 18 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Never hurts to be safe and get checked. But, chest pains was one of my very first symptoms only behind urticaria (hives). I never had a problem with my heart, in fact I'm only now discovering how much HPPD has affected my connective tissue. So I have no doubt the pain I was feeling is costochondritis in the chest area, related to tendon/muscle/connective tissue stress or changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onemorestep 48 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yes Gman I've had many experiences with chest tightness. I believe it correlates to acetylcholine drugs like coluracetam make this MUCH worse http://mindrenewal.us/page13.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGman6072 114 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I took some drugs that would make my heart start pounding but is chest tightness supposed to be painful to the point where I think I'm having a heart attack ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay1 241 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 It is anxiety and/or stress related, i'm sure.... I get it worst at night... I might not be feeling anxious or stressed at the time, but I am sure hppd makes us release alot of cortisol. I have possibly found a some help with this..... about 10 days ago, I started taking a supplement of 250mg Inositol and 250mg of Choline. The chest pains have gone... Completely. I want to test this over a month or more though... Maybe it was some other factor or just placebo. But after over 20 years of this problem, it just vanished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hppd33 238 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have This constantly for years too. Jay did that supps work instantly or after 10 days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VisualDude 279 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I took some drugs that would make my heart start pounding but is chest tightness supposed to be painful to the point where I think I'm having a heart attack ? Is the heart pounding just from these drugs? What are (were) these? Does it include rapid heart rate or is it just 'pounding'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGman6072 114 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Pain and pounding. The drug that probably caused this were diphenhydramine cuz I've been having chest pains ever since then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VisualDude 279 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 More directly, acetylcholine slows the heart. So an anticholinergic (which dephenhydramine is) would speed things. But that should be long gone. Hypotension (low blood pressure) will cause a pounding feeling. And if very low pressure, then the heart will race as well. What is your resting heart rate? Something else to try (perhaps this is a long-shot but simple and safe): Thiamine Low thiamine can cause chest pain (such as "precordial pain"). So its worth a try. For some reason, I only seem to respond to a particular type of thiamine, namely Thiamine Cocarboxylase [ Started a topic on this http://hppdonline.com/index.php?/topic/5027-thiamine-cocarboxylase/ ] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hppd33 238 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Jay do you still take this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay1 241 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I do, yea... Still working well for the chest pains. I woke up at about 3am last night and was really over thinking some issues with a work problem... After a while I realised that I would normally have terrible anxiety chest pain, but still nothing. It is like that symptom has completely gone from my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hppd33 238 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Did you also had pain in the back and neck which went away? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay1 241 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 No, just chest pain directly related to anxiety Quote Link to post Share on other sites
256 13 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Recently I've had chest pains as a result of increased anxiety. To me it feels like its just my heart like no other part of my chest hurts so I thought I was having a heart attack until I looked it up and found out chest pains can be a result of anxiety.

whyohwhy 0 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 On 3/23/2016 at 5:01 AM, Jay1 said: No, just chest pain directly related to anxiety I know this post is over 4-years-old but I am suffering extremely bad chest pain and feeling like my heart is pounding out of my chest constantly. Cannot sleep without taking sleeping pills... it's really that bad Do you continue to take these supplements to this day Jay and are they still helping with the chest pains? Anyone else struggle with really bad chest pains especially at night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay1 241 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I stopped taking it but not sure why. Don't remember any adverse reaction... May have just been the amount of inositol becomes a bit of a pain... 3/4 table spoons for each dose, iirc. Might give it another go, as my chest pain is well and truly back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay1 241 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just ordered a years worth, i'll report back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whyohwhy 0 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks Jay. Yeah I'm thinking of trying this as well. Just desperate for some kind of relief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whyohwhy 0 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Also if I may ask Jay, what was your reason for trying these supplements in particular? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
