Nobody felt chest pains ? It has been almost two months since I feel discomfort, sometimes painful , on the left side of my chest. This discomfort appeared while I was following an intensive IT course, which lasted three weeks at 15 hours per day ... Very effective, but kinda exhausting. However, I went back to a normal pace of life there a month ago and this pain will not subside .
I had felt this kind of pain there ten years in high school. At the time, the cardiologist that I consulted gave me an ultrasound . His diagnosis : my heart is healthy , but a slight malformation of my chest (my sternum is recessed, which made me like a hole between the ribs ) that the heart is sometimes directly hits the ribs , hence pain. These pains were parts of themselves and so far, everything was fine.
After a session with an osteopath, with little to no results , I consulted a doctor about this , which I prescribe blood tests , chest X-ray and ... anti-inflammatory and anxiolytics . I refrain from taking the last two . X-rays did not reveal anything abnormal. As for the blood test , it is quite normal too: nothing to report on minerals (I asked for iron test, but she must have forgot...) , cholesterol is in standards , and the marker of cardiovascular risk ( troponin t ) is negative . My doctor has asked me to " continue my treatment" for a week, and if nothing improves, she will give me a prescription to see a cardiologist (because yes , in France , you can not take the initiative to consult a specialist by yourself).
About the Diet : I'm mostly in ketosis , and gluten-free for almost 6 months. I take zinc in the morning and a little magnesium and vitamin B6 in the evening. Because of my chest malformation, my case is probably a bit unusual , but I still would like to know if other forum members have felt pain in the chest since they follow the KD.
