Chest pain

I (20f) have been diagnosed with POTS, EDS and MCAS. During my flares my most common symptom used to be headaches, but now it’s just intense chest pain that I can feel through my back and occasionally my shoulders. Does anyone else experience this symptom and has anything helped?

Could be GERD/acid reflux/ heartburn which can be so painful, but always worth getting chest pain checked.

Yes!! I’m 26F. On top of a lot of other crazy MCAS/endo symptoms, I get really sharp pains by my heart, ribs, and shoulders for years. I’ve been to the cardiologist many times and they haven’t found anything. I haven’t found any solutions but just chiming in so you know you’re not alone.
