Excruciating Chest Pain - Heart Attack or Gallbladder Attack?

Could be gallbladder. I also get attacks like that because of muscle spasms and nerve issues due to back damage from a car accident. It is terrifying.

I hope your appointment went well! 💕

Hey you all, thank you so much for sharing your concerns and personal stories! I have a doctor appointment soon today and we're gonna be discussing it! I'll be sure to mention my symptoms and everything that happened, as well as how similar everyone's experiences with it are/were. I appreciate you all taking time to share your experiences 💕

Yes 8 had same thing few years ago went to hospital twice on my second visit was rush off to a bigger hospital and was taking in to surgery for a heart catheterization procedure to find out my heart was great no problems. Dr Finally listen to me when i told them it was my gallbladder and I was have a gallstone attack. Bext week i was having it removed. All that worry but my dr told me my heart was permanent it had to be checked first before they rolled out the gallbladder I'm how happy and healthy now

Mine turned out to be due to gerds. But my parents had the same problems and were told they had gallstones and one had their gallbladder removed.

My sister died from gallbladder cancer because they waited too long to remove it. I got mine out the same year. You definitely need to get it checked out!!

Sounds like you need to see a gastroenterologist. Yes this sounds like gallbladder because I've been through the same thing. I tried to get help for it for 2 years and I kept getting turned away because they accused me of "drug seeking"...until I needed emergency gallbladder surgery because I was at death's door with a necrotic (dead) gallbladder! Don't wait around too long with it and go to a gastroenterologist, ERs, where ever, until you get what you need.

A gallbladder can certainly create some rough symptoms. I was having chest pain and shortness of breath, and pain that would not me to the ground. It was indeed a terrifying experience. I had my heart and lungs checked out and everything was fine. Turns out that I had a B12 and vitamin D deficiency (which can cause shortness of breath and heart palpitations), and I was having muscle spasms and pain from damage to my back from a car accident many years before. This was also when I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I would get my gallbladder checked ASAP. It could be gallstones combined with anxiety. Good luck to you!

Get it checked, definitely

Good luck chronicallyqueer 💕

Thank you all so much! I'm going to schedule with my primary care doctor and see her asap!

I was diagnosed with gallstones too when I went to ER after two days with terrible pain in my right abdomen. There they gave me antibiotics and fluids and scheduled me a surgery to remove my gallbladder which I cancelled later after I felt better

I was diagnosed with Gall stones & had surgery to have my gallbladder removed last year. Right before going into the hospital, I felt pains throughout my chest. When I got to the hospital, they said that the stones were causing inflammation & pain. Definitely have your gallbladder checked!

I've experienced these symptoms before and had them tell me it was a panic attack.

Oh I'm lactose intolerant as well, though the symptoms I had were so brand new, thatd why I called for an ambulance I thought it was a heart attack pffft. Thank you all by the way! ♡

If this help i feel like I'm having a heart attack after I eat dairy, I am lactose intolerant though 🙃

I second this

I would definitely get it checked out. It could be bad to wait too long.
