It's not a big deal but this morning I
woke up with some mild chest pains.
Hurts to twist or breath deeply. This
went on for hours now.. 5 to be exact
aand my shoulders/neck are tensed. My
right arm/hand is cold. I shouldn't be
concerned should i? I'm assuming it's
just gas and that will go away???
It's the long weekend so seeing a doctor
anytime soon would be out of the question.
And to think i'd sit in emergency's
waiting room for this for hours isn't
really nessesary but someones opinion on
the situation would help. Maybe a
suggestion as to how to get rid of this
discomfort would be helpful too.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Still.. Posted: 07-01-06 10:14am
I thought at least this would have stopped
by now.. But the pain is consistant. At
least I know it's not a stroke or a
heartattack. I knew this yesterday too
;p
what is it??
When will it subside.. Or is there
somethingi can do to decrease the
pain???
Help is much appreciated!

Well I don't know what kind of chest pains
you're having,
but would it really harm to see a doctor
or go to er rather than being in pain and
worrying about it? How can anyone answer
when it will subside or what it is when
they don't know how you're feeling?

I thought I explained it fairly well.
Hurts when I breathe or twist. ..
That'll include coughing, yawning.
Yesterday my shoulder and neck was
tensed.. Today it's a bit better but it's
not gone. I went out and it started
hurting again. Like I had sharp pains in
the left breast bone region then it went
away again. Emergency isn't nessesary
and the doctors aren't available until
after canada day, and even then it takes a
week to get an appointment.
What else could it possibly be. I'm sure
someone has had similar experiences.
Thanks again for the reply :)

I'm no expert but it sounds like it could
be chostocondritis, an inflamation of the
cartalige where the rib joins the
breastbone and I think it can be brought
on by being stressed out, etc...Just rest
for a few days.
To be honest I do not think your pain
sounds like it is related to anything
serious like heart problems or anything,
but maybe visit the doctor just to be
safe...Then again what do I know???

I read up on that too.. Thanks so much.
So chostocondritis does not have anything
at all to do with the heart. I will
definitely check next time I see the
doctor.
From my understanding chostocondritis can
last for weeks. So theres no quick
solution on how to get rid of this.
I'm going to go ahead and assume it is and
do my best not to stress (for now) until I
see a doctor.
