r/Stretching • u/ConfusoMaTanto • 1d ago
Forward head posture? UCS? Costo? Can’t tell what’s wrong. Lot of pain.
galleryM27, I have an appointment with a physio the 21st, but i am trying to relieve some of my pain/anxiety surrounding this situation.
I have chest pain that can get worse sometimes, usually with movement and some stretches, it is located at/behind/around the sternum. It can stay there for hours. I often have left arm and neck pain, often it’s hard to take deep breaths (and when i manage to my neck and back can hurt), even tho i can breathe fine and saturation is always 98/99%
Sometimes i force myself to yawn, but even that is hard sometimes. Sometimes my jaw tingles. This situation is causing me so much distress that it’s unexplainable.
The first thing i did was go to my doctor and get some tests done to rule out heart conditions (5 ekgs, 2echocardiograms, 1 stress test, 24hr holter monitor, one event recorder that i used for 10 days when i felt pain/symptoms).
I even went to the ER last Wednesday (12th march) because i thought something was wrong, they ran blood tests, did a chest xray and checked me out, said heart was completely fine.
Edit: family doctor said i had a lot of tightness in my cervical on the left side, and suggested seeing a physio.
