Hey.

I dont know if I have wrote this in the right place sorry if I havent.

I need some help. I'm 19, I have a really bad chest pain. I have had this since 10.30/11pm.

At first I had a pain in one of my arms then the other arm then it went to my chest. It's like a very sharpe pain, like a knife going into you. I have also been out of breath. I still have this now. I have ashama and yes I have taken my inhalar but it's not touching it. I'm not on any pills. I have eaten today and drunk loads so it's not that.

I have taken some gaviscon and some paracentamol. I have just rang hte doctor and their going to ring me back. Can anyone help me? I still have really bad pains and outta breath.

Please help

Do you have coughing or weazing with the pains as well? Have you recently just got over a cold or have been around something that could have possibly triggered your asthma? Are you possibly extremly fatigue as well with your symptoms? Sorry for all the questions just hopeing maybe I can help you with some advice. One more do you have anything that you could be stressed about or have been in a place recently that has made you feel uncomfortable? I hope I can help you out a little bit after you answer the questions so I hope to hear from you soon,

With the weezing there is a possiblity of walking namonia or broncitus specially if you are just getting over a cold it could have developed into one or the other. Good idea to go in and get it checked out. I have heard of the walking namonia causing quit the pain in the chest. Good luck and keep me posted

Sit back and relax and try not to do to much drink lots of liquid and if you can try to contact someone that could get you into see the doctor so you can get on the proper meds to get the situation taken care of asap when you find out what it is if you remember pm me and let me know what you found out. Again take care of your self and relax drinks lots of water and get in nad have yourself looked at. Gosh I don't even know you and I am worried about you because I just sent a clients 5 month old to the hospital for weezing, coughing, and shallow breathing and found out he had namonia. So I hope your ok and again pm me if you remember and let me know how your doing.
