![]() Has anyone seen similar symptoms and have a general idea of what could cause this? Best Regards, Adam My family has a history of Diabetes, and heart attack, but at my last physical about six months ago, my doctor gave me a completely good bill of health, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc. If it is something to be severely concerned about, I may be able to get them to return to port early for me to disembark to a hospital. I would go see my physician immediately if it were possible, but I am currently 200 miles off the coast of Taiwan, and my ship is not returning to any port for at least another month. I am concerned that this could be heart related, as I can feel the heart directly underneath the spot of pain, while applying pressure. I also have regular recurring lower back pain. I have also noticed recently that I wake up more often during the night with my arms/hands asleep, I shift position and it seems to go away. I have GERD, and have read that this can cause occasional pain in the left side of the chest, but I take Famotidine (Pepcid AC) 40mg daily, and have not noticed any reflux activity before/after the pain. The pain comes and goes (sometimes gone for 2-3 days), during rest or activity, and I don't seem to have any other symptoms that happen at the same time. It seems to go away with pressure, but if I release pressure, it returns. About 1 inch above, and two inches to the right of my left nipple. I am a 27 year old Caucasian male, and For the past few weeks, I have been having a dull pain in the left side of my chest. ![]()
