Endo in the chest cavity?

Question

I've been having chest pain and there's a good chance it's not heart related. One of my docs suggested it could be endometriosis growing in the chest cavity. Has anyone been diagnosed with this? And what does it feel like?

Answer

I had endo around my lungs when I was 17 (I'm 25 now). The only symptom I had was constant, severe pain just under my ribs and in my abdomen.

Doctors found the endo everywhere while removing 2 baseball sized ovarian cysts so I'm not sure what the pain was from. I've recently been having the pain under my ribs again and I know I don't have cysts so I'm nervous it could be coming back. Hopefully you can get it figured out. Living with pain/discomfort is no good.

Answer

I feel like I have this... My chest pain always comes around ovulation time and sent me to er a few times. Been to obgyn for that and he says its extremely rare to get it there and to see a gastrologist BC it must be indigestion. Had full colonoscopy and endoscopy.... Perfectly fine. Was sent back to see obgyn who basically made me feel like its all in my head so I have given up

Answer

I have endometriosis in my lungs. I never had any pain, unless it was a bad attack and I couldn't breathe. My main symptom was coughing blood up. A bronchoscopy showed that everywhere from the top of my nose down to my lungs was oozing blood
