Chest cramps / Compulsive thinking
Hi,I have had non stop (what feels like chest cramps) for months now, one day I just got them and they never went away.
It will sometimes radiate to my arms and can usually hit a nerves in my chest and arms which is quite painful.
I seem to get it the worst when I am at work / in a nervous situation, it really tightens up (I am a dj and usually DJ to a large crowd) as soon as I finish that gig generally the really painful cramp goes away but the general one that has been lingering still sits around.
I get this on one side at a time, either the left or the right side, it generally wont be both at the same time.
I believe this condition is mainly mental as more than half my attention has now turned to thinking about this condition. At any given moment I am thinking about this problem. If somebody speaks to me, if i have to concentrate on something, if I am cooking, excercising, writing, literally anything at all half of my mind is focused on thinking about this problem and i do not remember the last time I have just forgotten about it. This could be what is possibly causing it all.
Ever since I was younger if something popped into my mind i didn't want to think about it would play out like this in my mind.
'Stop thinking about that'. Then straight after I would start thinking about it even more than before even though I have just told myself to STOP.
This problem has created a whole list of new anxiety problems for me, I am starting to question reality and just want to go back to a normal life.
I have tried ranunculus bulbosus 30 and also kali phos 30. I believe the Kali Phos kind of helped but nothing with the ranunculus.

Hi Julian,
please put answers to the form on this thread.

Often times this can come from blocked nerves in your neck,
due to sleeping wrong, and REPETITIVE motions such as reading
in bed. looking down at the phone all the time, etc. This will take
time to do this to your neck nerves, but after enough years this
will show up and you have to stop repetitive habits with the neck
for the pain to fully go.
How is your neck? Have you ever had massage? What is your sleep
posture?
On telling yourself to -STOP_ that does not work it does the opposite.
Like if I said, DO not think about a rainbow- you would then be
thinking of it.
If I said, Imagine the Roman coliseum, and then said plan your
dinner menu at the same time, you would see you can't do it.
You have to switch thoughts - and naturally your attention is
divided due to pain ( the body is wanting you to get rid of the pain
and find an answer)

Hi Simone,
Thanks for your response.
I sleep on my side generally, sometimes on my back.
I have a massage every few weeks but never any pain in my neck, the only other pain i can notice is sometimes in my stomach.
I have had almost every test done, ecg, ct scans to see if there was any issues with nerve damage, nothing that they could find - they said i was fine and nothing wrong with me.

Hi Julian,
I think you are depleted- lets start with some cell salts,
cell salts are a sub branch of homeopathy and they work by
balancing out the cell metabolism.schuessler-tissue-salts-nat-phos-acid-neutraliser-125-tablets " rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.goldenglow.com.au/schuessler-tissue-salts-nat-pho...
This is a site in Au that has them. Order Kali phos and Nat phos for now.
Take the Nat phos after you eat a meal- dissolve 3 tabs under the tongue.
Take the Kali Phos same way but at different times of the day.
You sound like you have an acidity problem going on, and you
need to change your diet. Have 3 meals at regular times that
are healthy and have fresh vegetables and salad with some protein.
Take a break from alcohol while doing this and coffee.
Report back after 4 days of doing this.

Simone717
