Chest pain with seizures?
Sun, 01/21/2018 - 00:13Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
I am a 21 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with grey matter heterotopia in the left of my brain and I have been suffering with seizures for about 12 months now about twice a month. I have recently gotten worse with sharp pains in the left side of my chest and under my left rib cage, could this be connected? If so how? I am getting no answers from the doctors in regards to the chest pains and have been waiting on a cardiologist appointment for about 3 weeks. The pain shoots down the left side of my arm and into my shoulder and jaw feeling like a heart attack was and this seems to be worse at night. I do not believe it is anxiety as I can feel fine and happy emotion wise when this happens. Can anybody help? Is there anybody out there having the same issies?!
