Head pain and chest shocks

2 weeks ago, I went to the doc after a very bad Panic Attack. Ekg was normal but Im having an issue, I am getting random chest shocks (feels like little zaps) everywhere. Random tightness that lasts like 6 seconds and its very scary. Also, I have come down with a pretty irritating cold that is making the top of my head hurt. I was already afraid of having a brain tumor due to blurry vision a few weeks ago (that seems to have gotten better) although SOMETIMES i still feel just slightly dizzy for a few seconds. Also my blood work was fine..... Man i dont know what to do.

Hi Bealestreet. Sorry you are having such a rough time right now.

When I get a cold, especially if it is accompanied by a cough, I get those sharp, stinging, shock like pains in my chest. I'm pretty sure it's little muscle pulls from coughing, stressing, and tightening up my chest muscles.

I know they can be unsettling, but try to think of them as little muscle spasms. Those muscles are pulled really tight to begin with. It doesn't take much to strain them.

Try some deep breathing exercises, and stay hydrated. I can't stress enough how important it is to not get dehydrated, because that makes everything worse.

Hang in there.

Hi,

I think first of all you need to try Sumatriptan. It reduces substances that trigger headache pain. Generic Sumatriptan is the best medication to treat headache and other type of pain. After that you don't get relief from pain, then immediately concern with doctor.
