MSG and chest pain
Discussion
Has anybody had chest pains as a result of too much MSG?
My OH has had several bouts of night time chest pain resulting in trips to A&E. She had one last year resulting in an ambulance trip to hospital, one about 2 months ago when I took her to A&E, and one last night which she suffered through until the pain stopped at abot 6am this morning. The pain normally lasts 3-5 hours and is so severe that even the low dose morphine wasn't having an effect last time.
She has had all the tests including blood tests, ECG and a treadmill test. \All clear. After the July bout and the tests the only thing they thought it might be is a stomach reflex and gave her a month of tablets to calm the reflex.
When it starting in the early hours of this morning I had a sense of Deja Vu as it seems to happen on a Sunday night. I wonder now if it is sensitivity to MSG as we periodically eat a hearty Sunday lunch at the local Chinese buffet. We did so yesterday. Google says there is no research linking MSG to the symptoms but patients have reported a host of symptoms, including chest pain.

Soy sauce is loaded with it
No it isn't. It is however loaded with salt. I've never seen MSG as an ingredient to any soy sauce that I've bought - and I always read the ingredients of anything I buy.Gall stones sometimes cause very severe chest pain. Right in the middle of the chest from front to back or vica versa. They actually make you feel very nausious.
Although MSG can give you a racing heart and chest pains.
When i eat MSG is makes my insides very sore for a couple of days, including my mouth.......

Most Chinese restaurants order from the same wholesale suppliers and you can't even decipher half of the ingredients.
You don't really think they're in the slightest bit bothered by some EU edict?

Yes, indeed, they do!- this described my symptoms exactly. I had this on and off for 3 years. So no more gall bladder for me, and 4 small scars and a massive one (the keyhole failed) as a result. No more tasty but fatty stuff for me.
