chest ache.. any insight plse
 

for a fewdays have had annoying ache in my chest. it is generally bearable but occasionally it gets quite painful. this sounds wierd but can feel my heart beating which is not normal for me.... sorta scared this is something mroe serious.
the ache tends to move all over top of chest although tis hard to pinpoint.
not done any exercise tht would strain the muscles at all.
any ideas????

Is there anything which makes the pain better or worse?
Have you recently changed your medication?
Do you eat an adequate diet?

nothing i know of tht makes pain better or worse. not on meds atm.
not been eating normaly but been inc cals and not had this when was having less... atm having about 1000 cals ish....

Have you just recently started increasing your cal intake? Have you been diagnosed ED? What is your BMI? Have you been diagnosed with any medical problems? Do you have any symptoms besides the chest ache?

been inc cal intake for a few weeks now. not diagnosed cos too scared to go to docs. bmi 19 atm but it generally lower. not got any diagnosed medical probkems..... headachey, tired, feel bit shakey at times but not physically shaking, v thirsty.... dunno if they related.

oh and been gettin out of breath easier recently too.. forgot to add tht

Have you had a fever, cough, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea?

Thanks for posting this Rachel :-) Better safe then sorry. Hope it gets better xxx.

It sounds like you may have either bronchitis or punemonia, both of which need to be seen by a doctor. I know going to the doctors can be scary, but you needent even mention anything but the chest ache, difficulty breathing and the other stuff you told me.

do you purge? sorry for asking but that could effect your heart.

I hope you feel better soon

had cough but tht normal for mw. no i dont purge- well ontli once recently and tht not successful. twas first tym

really dont feel well, shakey, pancking and light headed

Please try to stay calm.
Do you know the number for the out of hours doctor?
If not ring your GP, the number should be on there. Ring them and tell them you symptoms.
Your other option would be to go to A&E. This sounds like it needs to be treated sooner rather than later.

parents will find out something up, cant du tht

Tell your parents there is something up!!
This is not something that you have caused. This is an illness just like a cold would be or a chest infection. If your not well, you need help. Your parents should be supportive of that.

no they cant know.... prob making fuss of nothing... :-( prob overreacting.

Why cant they know?

dont wanna worry them, they got enough on.

If you sick im sure they would want to know.

no thwy sleepin.. dont wanna wake them.... preying this will pass, feel bit sick.if i stay calm maybe take parctomal too may get rod of it?????
