Has anyone ever had chest pain that they think may be related to their catheter?

I had more like aches from it, especially if I laid on my side too long.  I know when I am over stressed I tend to get chest pain, but you should never let chest pain go unchecked.  Even if it is nothing, it will relieve any anxiety you have due to it.

I've been to hospital twice because of the chest pain and was totally checked out and cleared by the cardiologists.They said my heart was fine-well as fine as could be for someone whos been on dialysis for 16 years total. But I still get a little pain and I'm pretty sure it started when I got the catheter.It's not severe but it tends to be worse when I'm dialyzing. The catheter is the only thing I can think of since the docs say it's ok so was hoping I could get some feedback on this thought.Thanx guys!
