heart help: My chest feels tight and achey. - Help.com

First off, Age?

well i suggest u go see a doctor, i had this problem, it sorta felt like i was being sat on… and i found out it was asthma.. :[

im 17 and its lasted since about yesterday afternoon

Anything out of the ordinary happen yesterday?

i was a bit hungover but apart from that no, i started doing yoga about a week ago so i dont know if ive pulled somthing but its all the time not just when i use chest muscles you know?

It could be an over lasting cramp, or something in that nature

so do you think i should go to the doctor or would i be wasting his time?

does it feel tight when u try to breath in deeply?

yeah kinda like my lungs are a bit restricted or something and i cant take deep breaths properly.

is that serious?

Ohhh, thats bad :l

do you smoke?

it sounds like you could have some sort of infection going on… bronchitis or pneumonia staring..

either way… you need to see a doctor anyways.. just to make sure its nothing serious.

wtf!?! lol fry..

anony.. you should see about a doc.. because i had that problem, i didn’t think i had asthma and yeh i found i did.. i had the same syptoms as you

I say tomorrow

oh gosh i dont wanna wake my parents and then there be nothing wrong and it would mean going to the hospitol cause well its 3.14. but if its somthing serious it will sound pathetic saying i didnt want to wake anyone. oh gosh dilemma! if it was your child would you want waking? i feel like a 5 year old!

lol its not that serious.. are u in pain?

wake your mom up and tell her how you feel and ask if you can get a doctors appointment…if it was really serious, then you wouldn’t even be considering the fact that they’re sleeping.

well not full on pain like OUCH! but its uncomfortable i cant really sleep because of it.

ask your parents if they can give you some meds or something to make the pain subside

yeah good idea i have some aspirin somewhere.

just ask ur parents to take u tomorrow. as of now.. try hot water.. run ur bathroom sink with hot water.. like steamy hot and breath that in.. see if it helps

aspirin is a badddd idea, if u do have asthma it could make worse problems..

didnt know that! do you know why? i think we have paracetamol somewhere…

well my brother said it could kill me, but i really don’t beleive him, stay on the safe side.. and don’t take it.. try going in the bathroom, closing the dorr and running really hot water so it steams and breath it in..

will do should calm me down as well thankyou :) x

ur welcome

do not use aspirin at your age.
The key to understanding how sick you are is do you have a temperature.
Measure your temperature. Do you have a digital thermometer.
Take your temperature and come back here and tell me.

the thermometer actually broke i think because it was giving ridiculous readings but im pretty sure im not over 37 degrees or anything

I think you should get some rest. And make sure to drink plenty of water and eat regularly. See a doctor! I hope you feel better soon!

thankyou and will do! i hope you have a nice day :)

you should borrow a thermometer or buy one.
But if you do not have a temperature then it is highly unlikely that you have pneumonia. Pneumonia is a serious disease and usually makes you feel very sick.
Not just the cant breathe thing.
I highly suspect that it may be related to your yoga.
You may have stretched something in the chest area and its sore.

yeah thats why im reluctant to go to the doctor dont want to cry wolf but i will just in case got some other stuff to sort out really

and also if you have viral pneumonia the doctors just to send you home
because it’s untreatable. But if it’s bacterial pneumonia you need antibiotics.
But this will be with the temperature.

You can test the yoga idea by doing a similar pose that you think
would irritate your chest. Then take a deep breath while you’re doing that pose.
If it hurts I suspect the yoga.

actually i doubt it could be yoga.. cuz yoga wouldn’t cause it too be hard to breath

but if she’s new to yoga she may have done a pose which stretched that area too much.

I must admit a week ago does seem a long time for it to still be acting.

that just cause pain, not a tight chest.. because to me it sounds like asthmsa.. tight chest, hard to breathe in deep.. .. but i’m not a doctor

neither am I. when in doubt talk to your doctor.

i will go to the doctor tomorrow and tell you all whats wrong put your mind at rest haha thankyou again for your concern

ok. good.

hope everything is good, let us know!

when u sleep, elivate ur back so ur not flat, that should help you breath a bit better
