Chest Pain

[nat_84]

Hey guys and girls....howdy?

Not sure how many of you would be able to help, other than say "go to the docs" - but thought i'd ask anyway.....

I've got this annoying chest pain - it comes and goes.

When i breath in i get this horrible sharp pain straight through the right hand side of my chest....just above my heart.

I used to get it more regualry but it just came on when i was in a meeting at work - first time in a while...

NOt sure what causes it......any ideas?

Spank you in advance XXX

my advice is that any kind of chest pain should be checked by the Dr asap. you are better being safe than sorry. ok....it is prob nothing serious but you never know. my hubby had heart attack at 36 and he thought it was indigestion !!

yeah - thanks maviscoull.

I realise that anything near by the heart could potentially be very dangerous and better safe than sorry.

Nothing to help you with your pain but the heart is located to the left of your chest.

nat, no need to be alarmed on the heart front. Heart pain is not like what you descrbe.

i have a tiny piece of cartilidge that slips from under my ribs to the front and gets trapped and i get a very strange pain that a can barely breath in as after a certain point it really hurts. sometimes if i breathe in suddenly when i have the pain, it seems to click and then goes away

but as has been advised - see a doc

Cucumber is notorious for giving people indigestion (very naughty cucumber, spank spank). Think back to when you've previously suffered this pain - had you been eating cucumber, raw onion, lettuce, cress etc or been rushing your meal ? If none of these, then definitely see your GP. The pain you are describing doesn't sound like a heart attack to me either - that's like having a very tight band pulled around your chest with pains in your arms.

sounds like a bit of trapped wind to me or indigestion....I think you would know if it was a heart pain....it bl**dy well hurts, according to my Mother
