Skink's right that if nitroglycerin relieves the pain, that's a good sign it's angina (heart-related chest pain).

You've been under lots of stress lately, Slipknot. That's part of why I'm trying to persuade you to go on in. Even if you don't have a family history of heart disease, you can easily still be at risk yourself. The other thing is that gallbladder pain has an eerie way of masquerading as heart attack pain in men.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . any clue what this is? (birdgirl perhaps?) ok i'm having a problem.... my entire right upper side is hurting... like from my heart, to my shoulder, to my elbow... it's like pulses at that, it'll hurt for a couple of minutes then go back to normal... it's a very unusual pain as well, it burns, stabs and feels like i worked out way too much all at the same time. i still got a couple of weeks before i go to the doctor next, but i'm kinda worried, i'm not exactly what you'd call 'healthy'. i get pains and shit all the time, never worries me Rating: 5
